«Last Stop Coney Island; The Life and Photography of Harold Feinstein» is a documentary film that explores the work and photographic heritage of Harold Feinstein (1931-2015). It is the portrait of a sensitive artist who enjoyed early success in the 1940s and 1950s for his photographs taken during the Korean War, in Manhattan’s Bebop or in a hippie enclave in upstate New York. The contributions of friends, his partner and photography experts paint a portrait both intimate and critical of a maverick who was able to take a unique humanistic look at his time
