Still Film + At the Movies
The acclaimed, highly conceptual filmmaker James N. Kienitz Wilkins—whose work has screened at BAM for nearly a decade—returns for a week-long run of his new experimental documentary. Told in the form of a staged deposition and composed entirely of 35mm presskit photos from Hollywood blockbusters, Still Film explores the role of cinematic detritus in our lives. Wilkins voices a multitude of characters as they argue about the effects of cinephilia on the self and the culture, crafting a witty off-beat trial of the moving image. Still Film screens alongside a selection of the classic Hollywood blockbusters it references: Wayne’s World 2, The Big Chill, Dick Tracy, and Fight Club.
