Meditations on Revolution, part V: Foreign City

'Foreign City' part V is the final film in Fenz's series 'Meditations on Revolution. The film is dedicated to the director's father who immigrated to the United States in 1953 and passed away in 1999. Foreign City studies New York as a place of immigration and displacement. It is a meditation on revolution of the urban space. It's abstract black and white images and actual sounds, come in and out of sink, creating a magical foreign landscape. The reconstruction of NY through an imaginary city plan, built on sensation. The film has a timeless, anonymous quality until it is given the voice of artist and jazz musician Marion Brown. [M.M.]
