Read MoreNHTI’s Friday NIght Film Series presents Walther Ruttmann 1927 documentary of life in Weimar Berlin, Germany, BERLIN: SYMPHONY OF A GREAT CITY (BERLIN, DIE SINFONIE DER GROßSTADT), one of the most famous silent classics films and a leading, early example of a genre that’s come to be known as City Symphony, an aesthetic also developed early on by Dziga Vertov, and Charles Sheeler and Paul Strand. As a means of expressing the life and vitality of a city through cinematic means, the City Symphony aesthetic has also influenced the work of generations of filmmakers throughout film history including Leitão de Barros, Henri Storck, Boris Lehman, Steve Bilich, Dominic Angerame, and others.

Read MoreAdding to our roster of city symphony films and filmmakers (MANHATTA; BERLIN: SYMPHONY OF A GREAT CITY; LISBOA, CRÓNICA ANEDÓTICA; and THE MAN WITH THE MOVIE CAMERA), we are pleased to present Dominic Angerame’s CITYSCAPES, an amalgam of his short films dating from 1982 to 2010. Mostly shot in San Francisco, these experimental works show urban deconstruction and cinematic construction as two sides of the same coin, as deconstruction even -- in which individual films are often replete with layered, multiple exposures and dynamic editing. In contrast, independent filmmaker Joseph Anderson’s little-known SPRING NIGHT SUMMER NIGHT (1967), is slow paced and spare, a rural family-centered drama shot in black-and-white.
