Jetty

About This Movie

So, 'Jetty' is this really fascinating documentary shot on 16mm, which gives it a grainy, tactile feel that’s quite immersive. It dives into the slow and methodical installation of new coastal infrastructure in the Rockaways. You know how some docs can feel a bit rushed? This one takes its time, which really lets you soak up the atmosphere. The original score by Animal Collective enhances the whole experience. It’s almost like a character in itself, layering texture over the visuals. It’s about observation—watching people work, nature changing, all in a kind of philosophical way. Definitely a unique take on a subject that isn't exactly glamorous, but there's real beauty in the details here.
