Film selections were made by visitors to the Panorama who responded to a survey that asked them to recall a specific scene from a movie they felt illustrated their experience, attitude, or expectations of New York City. The first seven scene selections were presented from August to December, 2002; the second from January to June, 2003.
Next to each screen was a label showing a still from the real movie, while on the LCD screen appeared a live feed from the Panorama of the scene in question. Woody Allen’s Manhattan (1977) and Spike Lee’s Do the Right Thing (1989) were among the common cinematic references.
