Midtown

About This Movie

Midtown is an intriguing exploration of urban life, captured in a raw, unvarnished manner. Shot on 16mm, the film's grainy texture adds to the immediacy, transporting you to Manhattan's streets as they pulse with energy. The piece feels almost voyeuristic, with its news crew documenting specific coordinates, creating a curious index of the city’s corporate and personal landscapes. It’s like a fleeting snapshot of the anonymous lives intertwined with the towering shadows of power. The pacing is contemplative, allowing moments to breathe and linger, inviting you to reflect on the duality of urban anonymity and corporate dominance.

Midtown remains a niche interest among collectors due to its unique format and the elusive nature of its production. The scarcity of original prints, particularly in 16mm, adds to its allure and makes it a sought-after piece for those who appreciate avant-garde cinema. Many collectors find its themes of urban anonymity and corporate presence resonate deeply, making it a conversation starter in any collection.
