Some Imaginary Far Away Type Things a.k.a. Lost in the Meshes

About This Movie

Some Imaginary Far Away Type Things, or Lost in the Meshes, is a raw dive into Arthur Russell's world, captured in two concerts back in '85. The atmosphere feels almost ethereal, with Russell's unique sound melding seamlessly into the space of the Experimental Intermedia Foundation. The pacing is loose, not your typical concert film; it's more like a meditation on performance and creativity. You get a real sense of his presence, his experimentation with sound and emotion. There’s something very honest about the unedited footage, no fancy cuts or edits, just pure, unvarnished artistry that can really draw you in. It captures a slice of time, a moment when music felt fluid and alive.
