HERE AT THE WATER’S EDGE
With a live projection performance.
"Could the structure of the universe be ambivalent? Could it allow both a forward and a backward movement? Could it admit a double logic, two determinisms, two opposite finalities?" – Jean Epstein, "The Intelligence of a Machine"
Gina Telaroli and Carolyn Funk of DUELLE FILMS will tame a storm through an expanded cinema performance of duelling projectors and moving images.
HERE AT THE WATER’S EDGE by Leo Hurwitz & Charles Pratt. 1962, 60 min. Guest programmed by Jake Perlin.
A mesmerizing document of the New York harbor in the ‘60s. Luminously photographed in 16mm, this visual poem centers its gaze on the people who work on the water, focusing on the quiet beauty of ordinary moments. *Projected on 16mm in honor of the medium’s centennial
DJ SET by Alan Wertz at Rockaway Brewing Co.
