01 / THE STORY
A little about the film.
A day in the life of the city and citizensFrancis Thompson’s nearly wordless experimental short presents a kaleidoscopic portrait of New York City over the course of a single day. Using distorting lenses, layered imagery, and playful color effects, the film transforms everyday scenes—from morning subways and office work to nighttime jazz clubs—into an abstract, vibrant symphony of urban life of New York as seen through the fantastic eye, and the incredibly distorted optic lenses, of filmmaker Francis Thompson.
