Funny, charming, exotic, and oblivious to others, at 76 he lives “completely in the now” following brain damage that robbed him of his ability to create memories. ​To compensate he has created a beautiful, shocking 3D autobiographical collage that fills every space in his tiny flat – so if you enter his home you enter his mind. ​I wanted to understand him, I end up caring for him as his unique philosophy TRUST ABSOLUTE CONDITIONAL conflicts with reality.

The film is a collaboration between us, a record of a relationship that brought me great joy and wonder but also real pain.vel by John Green.

STATIONS OF THE ELEVATED

Posted on 2014-06-10

The first ever filmed document of graffiti, Manfred Kirchheimer’s richly chromatic 16mm tone poem sets images of the Bronx, Manhattan, and Brooklyn to a soundtrack that interweaves ambient city noises with the gutbucket gospel sound of jazz titan Charles Mingus. Long regarded by cinephiles and hip-hop heads as an obscure cult masterpiece since it premiered at the 1981 New York Film Festival, Stations of the Elevated is a celebration of a quintessentially urban art form—at a time when it was largely dismissed as vandalism. With lyrical shots of tagged trains, desolate rail yards, and other details of the urban landscape, it remains a priceless portrait of a bygone era of New York City culture. World premiere of a new restoration.
