Back View

The Upper West Side has some of the tallest brick apartment buildings in NYC. The orderly but deserted and aging concrete courtyards, their metal stairs and shafts, register a dramatically changing atmosphere. This is a cinema that seeks to observe, obscure, shorten and protract, and redefine, while remaining open ended. Selected screenings: Views from the Avant Garde, New York Film Festival, 2011; Off and Free Film Festival (Seoul, Korea), 2011
