Works by Peter Hutton, Lewis Klahr; and Marina McDougall, Warren Sonbert, and Scott Stark in Person The activities of a "typical" day in the modern city gave many early films their structure as well as their rhythm, inspired by a heightened awareness of speed, simultaneity and stimuli. Peter Hutton's 1991-93 Lodz (20 mins, Silent, B!W) is both an homage to these early "city symphonies" and a lament for the fate of the Lodz ghetto. In the beautiful Acceleration (7 mins, Silent, Super-8mm), Scott Stark depicts the inhabitants of the modern city as disembodied and ephemeral, more ghostly than tangible. Lewis Klahr's City Film (c.17 mins, Silent, Super-8mm) recalls the early Lumi?re films. His intermixing of cut-out animation with sites of New York suggests that the original inspiration for collage was the act of observing the city. Marina McDougall's ambitious film essay, If You Lived Here, You'd Be Home By Now (12 mins, 16mm) queries modern notions of place and travel in relation to recent technologies. In Short Fuse (1991, 37 mins), Warren Sonbert's fluid montage brings together images from around the world in a mounting rage at living in an age of AIDS.-Kathy Geritz
