"The coolest film organization in the world." —John Waters
"Urban wanderings inspire these six experimental films-- from a collage of movie trailers found outside a Brooklyn theater, to an evocation of an Uruguayan poet's life as a bookkeeper, to a compendium of vox populi interviews gleaned from city streets. Created over 10 years, this collection reveals the urban experience with verve and insight."
Trailer Trash (2008). 5 minutes-- a skewed take on detritus: film trailers are rescused from the trash and painted, holding up a funhouse mirror to the industry of expectations.
Collision of Parts (2010). 15 minutes-- An excavation of the concept of montage: small moments public and private brush up against each other, creating a charged tapestry of the immediate.
Sueldo/Licensia (2010). 8 minutes-- An adaptation of the two of Mario Benedetti's poems using Montevideo Uruguay as a melencholic backdrop.
A Year (2006). 28 minutes-- A tattered and unflinching diary film-- video journal entries mix with abstract film images in Brooklyn, New Orleans, and beyond.
Brooklyn Promenade (2001) 3 minutes-- A walk after 9/11 allows the filmmaker's children to reflect on what just happened.
Happy? (2000) 19 minutes-- "Are you happy?" This simple query, asked hundreds of passers by in NYC, led to a series of ruminations about the passage of time and the nature of contentment
*BONUS*
Cuadro Por Cuadro (2009) 8 minutes, made with Lynn Sachs. -- A documentary of a workshop taught by the filmmaker at the Fundacion D'Arte Contemporaneo, an artist's collective in Montevideo, Uruguay. Workshop participants pore over discarded films, one frame at a time.
