N.Y.H.C. is a documentary film directed by Frank Pavich about the mid-90s New York hardcore scene. Filmed in mid-1995, it was completed and self-released on VHS by the director in 1999.

The documentary was acquired for distribution by HALO 8 Entertainment in December 2007. On March 25, 2008, Halo-8 released a two-disc special edition for the documentary's first time on DVD. Disc 2 features previously unreleased footage including "Where Are They Now?" interviews shot ten years after the original documentary, live performances of complete songs by Vision of Disorder, Madball, 25 ta Life, 108, No Redeeming Social Value, District 9, and more, as well as new interviews with Lou Koller (Sick of It All) and Toby Morse (H2O).

One of the few documentaries focusing on the hardcore music scene of one city, N.Y.H.C. featured seven bands prominent in the mid-90s scene. A diverse grouping was selected, from Long Island suburbanites to Bronx inner-city youth to Hare Krishna devotees.

The featured bands are:

Interviewees include:

Notable in this film is interview footage of Roger Miret while using a wheelchair due to a vertebrae injury sustained at a show.

The N.Y.H.C. Documentary Soundtrack was released in 1996 prior to the film’s release by SFT Records on compact disc. It was intended to help raise funds for the completion of the documentary itself (which was finally completed & released in 1999). This CD featured live tracks as well as interview clips. The featured bands are Madball, 25 ta Life, Vision of Disorder, 108, Crown of Thornz, No Redeeming Social Value and District 9.
