News from Nowhere

About This Movie

News from Nowhere is quite an intriguing piece, really. It’s just two slow pans across a public park in Milwaukee, and that’s it. But it’s more than just visuals; it’s about atmosphere. The stillness of the shots combined with Bernadette Mayer’s words creates this kind of meditative state. The pacing is deliberate, almost hypnotic. You sit with the imagery, which invites reflection on the potential of a summer day, a theme that resonates deeply. There’s a raw simplicity in how it’s shot, no flashy edits or overwhelming effects, just nature and language intertwining. It feels like a quiet conversation with the viewer about longing and possibility, a unique approach that’s not often captured this way.
