James N. Kienitz Wilkins uses 35mm Hollywood film stills to interrogate the long-term effects of cinephilia in this witty, off-beat trial of the moving image.

Dick Tracy
- Part of
- BAM Film 2023 and
- Still Film + At the Movies
Hard-boiled detective Dick Tracy (Warren Beatty) is searching for evidence that proves Alphonse “Big Boy” Caprice (Al Pacino, with a prosthetic chin for the ages) is the city’s most dangerous crime boss. Tracy may have found the key to unraveling the crime lord’s illegal empire in an enigmatic bar singer named Breathless Mahoney (Madonna), who has witnessed some of Caprice’s crimes firsthand. However, the femme fatale seems more set on stealing Dick away from his girlfriend than helping him solve the case in this stylish crime-comedy, based on the classic 30s comic strip.
