Two films by film critics, who cut and paste two very different paths into cities (or neighbourhoods) that "play themselves", in cinema.
In Los Angeles and in Bandra, it was possible to make a film about this idea, rather than write a book, a review, or a conference paper. It was not possible to "release" the resulting films but they still, as you can see, have a life of their own.

A Season of Footage and Films


CAMP presents
Saturday or Sunday evening screenings through winter, exploring footage both within and outside the usual capsule of "the film". An experience that could be similar to watching films, or at other times harder to digest, or slower to release, closer to the moment of shooting, less censorious, and less fearful of finitude. Another life, another world of viewing and listening experiences is always possible.
