L. Cohen
U.S. 2018
Settle in and watch and listen as a scene at an Oregon farm unfolds before the camera from legendary filmmaker and visual artist, James Benning. Never moving the camera and culminating in a most exquisite reward for the patient viewer, L. Cohen captures an unusual day where the landscape is a function of time that requires us to slow down to witness the extraordinary.
DCP, color, 48 min. Director: James Benning.
Goodbye, Dragon Inn
Taiwan, 2003
An old Taipei cinema is set to close. Its final denizens, a small and lonely group of strangers, settle into disparate corners and mental spaces, as King Hu’s Dragon Inn (1967) plays on screen for the last time. In Tsai Ming-liang’s meditative feature there is an understanding that the audience (both in the picture and those of us watching) are participating in the runtime — that time is both experienced on and off screen. As the film plays, there is a sense of time running out, masterfully demonstrating our relationship to the sacred spaces that hold our attention, even for a few moments.
DCP, color, in Mandarin and Min Nan with English subtitles, 82 min. Director: Tsai Ming-liang. Screenwriter: Tsai Ming-liang With: Kang-sheng Lee, Shiang-chyi Chen, Kiyonobu Mitamura.
