This city symphony film is composed from advertising signs, building facades, fragments of music and conversation, and unmarked sites of vanished cultural landmarks. The film is an effort to discover how much of the ambience and history of Los Angeles can be revealed from these fragments.
Screening will be followed by a lecture from the director, Thom Andersen.
"The cumulative effect of the film is a realization of what is gone coupled with the anticipation of what is to come, a symphony of a city that is simultaneously unborn and deceased." —Seattle Post Globe
