Astor Place

Passers-by speak silent volumes as they move by the mirrored surface of a diner window where a camera running at 48 frames per second records the unscripted choreography of the street, its dance of gazes and riddle of identities. This film is based on the work of the Lumière Brothers, with an eye to permeating the authority of the static camera and establishing a question as to who is watching whom.
Eve HELLER (1961, North Hampton, Massachusetts) studied film making, philosophy, German literature and political science. Her films have been screened in several museums and at festivals.
