Last fall we explored modern cityfilms, which draw on the city as the inspiration for their rhythms and structure. Tonight's program looks at works from the thirties to the present. Many of them deal with the perceptual experience of modern life, reflected in Lewis Klahr's linking of careful observations with collage in City Film, Paul Sharits' anxious imagery and editing in the double-screen Razor Blades, and Scott Stark's rhythmic creation of a "talking" house in Don't Even Think. Abigail Child's Dinkinsville, the Film and Photo League's Halsted Street, and Newsreel's People's Park develop a politics of looking, through which social inequities are made visible and subject to analysis. The scientific documentary Living in a Reversed World examines the mechanisms by which the mind makes sense of what it sees. Various subjects wear specially constructed glasses that reverse the directions of right and left, revealing that it is surprisingly easy for the mind to "normalize" vision.-Kathy Geritz City Film (Lewis Klahr, 1993, 20 mins, Silent, Color).
