N.Y., N.Y. A day in New York
Description
Prismatic and distorted, Francis Thompson shot the vibrant and fractured images with a Kodak Ciné-Special camera specially rigged with "secret" mirrors, kaleidoscopes and even reflective car hubcaps. His objective was to create a "complete and carefully integrated film using precisely controlled camera distortion in a dramatically unfolding structure." The experience remains an exquisite time capsule that not only documents Manhattan during the 1950s but also, in the words of the New York Times, proffers "one of the few geniune masterpieces" of burgeoning experimental film movement in the United States. 35mm from 16mm 1.37:1 color sound; production assistance D.A. Pennebaker; music by Gene Forrell.
