Apt. 309

About This Movie

Apt. 309 is an intriguing piece that embodies the essence of experimental documentary filmmaking. Shot on both 8mm and 16mm Bolex cameras, it creates a fascinating interplay of textures with double exposures that really give it a unique atmosphere. The grainy quality and rich contrasts pull you into a world that feels both intimate and haunting. The pacing is deliberate, allowing viewers to linger on moments and really absorb the layers of narrative and emotion. It reflects a certain rawness, a kind of personal storytelling that’s rarely seen in more polished works. The film, commissioned by the Echo Park Film Center and backed by the Andy Warhol Foundation, feels like a love letter to the medium itself.
