    Manhattan becomes a maypole as its bridges execute a carefree but magical dance. There are two versions of the film on the reel, one with an electronic soundtrack by Louis and Bebe Barron, and one with music by Ted Macero and his group.

  • i was a strong man until i left home

    A travelogue as catharsis, “i was a strong man until i left home” blends footage from several trips across North America, by plane, train and car.
