Seeing the City: Avant-Garde Visions of New York

“New York is perhaps the most represented city in all of cinema, but people are generally familiar with how it’s been portrayed in commercial fiction films. The view from the underground is just as rich, if not even richer.” –Dan Sullivan, via The Gothamist

FLC and The Film-Makers’ Cooperative present Seeing the City: Avant-Garde Visions of New York from The Film-Makers’ Cooperative Collection and Beyond. The series features 10 programs of short and mid-length films—with many presented on 16mm—from the 1940s to the 2010s that offer unique visions of the city anchored in exploration, experimentation, and subversive political commitment. See films by Stan Brakhage, Shirley Clarke, D.A. Pennebaker, Marie Menken, Holly Fisher, Bette Gordon, and many more!

Intro by Erica Stein, associate professor and chair of film at Vassar College, for The Postwar City Symphony, Part 1 (Friday at 8:15pm) and Part 2 (Saturday at 1:00pm)

Evil Does Not Exist

“A masterful film that invites contemplation and, in return, delivers lyrical beauty, haunting mystery, and more than a bit of unexpected terror.” –The Daily Beast

This potent and foreboding new film from Oscar-winning director Ryûsuke Hamaguchi is a haunting, entirely unexpected cinematic experience that reconstitutes the boundaries of the eco-political thriller. Intensified by a rapturous, ominous score by Eiko Ishibashi, this mesmeric journey diverges from country-vs-city themes to straddle the line between the earthy and the metaphysical.
