With its bright colors and pixilated energy, the film becomes a dynamic city symphony, with its rapid-fire imagery accompanied by the poems and songs of Patti Smith, Lucinda Williams, Debbie Harry, Peggy Lee, B.B. King, and more.Runs through March 29. The film will screen continuously in the Video Screening Amphitheater.For more information, visit movingimage.us.
