Film Details

Jem Cohen’s first feature since his sublime Museum Hours is a poetic collection of shots and scenes captured in cities from New York to Moscow to Istanbul and arranged in 15 chapters. This combination city symphony, film diary, essay film, and polemic finds the inveterate, itinerant independent NYC filmmaker doing what he does best: capturing the world through his unique lens. “This is the kind of contemplative cinematheque piece that washes pleasurably over you, inviting the viewer to tune in or out, to free-associate or locate the subtle connections and recurring themes as Cohen trains his restless, inquisitive gaze on faces and features that represent a wide spectrum of life.” –Hollywood Reporter.
