Song of My City

Friday, September 19 - Thursday, September 25, 2025

A cinematic montage that reconstructs 1970s New York as it exists in the movies that mythologized it. Built from the B-roll of films from the era, this love letter to a fabled past distills the frenetic energy, neon-lit loneliness, and inadvertent beauty of a city on the brink of collapse. Premiered at Telluride Film Festival and featuring music by The Velvet Underground, Philip Glass, and Gene Krupa.
