Filming in Albany This Week Brings Movie Magic & Road Closures

Last week, there were road closures in Troy for the filming of the same movie; this week, they are moving the production to Albany.

Downtown Albany is about to become a movie set for a few days. A World War II-era film, "Triumph of the Will," has been filming in Troy and is scheduled to head to Albany on July 23rd and 24th.

The story is set in Nazi-era Berlin and centers on a family trying to survive as fascism takes hold. It is described as a historical drama with a love story at its heart.

According to the Times Union, because of the setting, you may see actors in period costumes, including Nazi uniforms and other imagery that could be disturbing.

The production team has stated that they are working closely with the city, the Albany Police, Film Albany, and nearby residents to keep everyone informed and minimize disruptions.

If you plan to be in the area, please be aware of the following parking changes and road closures.

From 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. on both days, no parking will be allowed on these streets:

Both sides of Lodge Street between Corning Place and Pine Street

The south side of Pine Street from Lodge to opposite Chapel Street

On July 24th  from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m., no parking.

On both sides of Broadway from Pine to State Street

Also on July 24th, Broadway between Pine and State will be closed to vehicles during that same time.

Sidewalks will stay open, though you might be asked to pause briefly while a scene is being filmed.
