To my family and friends at Christmas 2011. The music is by Francis Poulenc, his Concerto for Two Pianos performed by the Labèque sisters. I shot all the footage 5-10 December 2011 in Paris. Special thanks to Autumn and Eric, Pierre and Fanny for their hospitality and friendship.

Heading off the Occupy Congress march on January 17, 2012, singer/songwriter Joe Nolan sang his anthem "Occupy Song" on the East Lawn of the U.S. Capitol. In this film, Joe's music accompanies the march up Capitol Hill, ending at the Supreme Court. From there, the film takes a vérité style U-turn as it follows the march down Pennsylvania Avenue, ending at the White House.
As the companion piece to a combination of "Zucotti Park Zoo: Being There"…

The music and lyrics of Nitzer Ebb (here, a non-commercial use) began ringing in my ears when I immersed myself in Zuccotti Park. Rather like Laibach and other European musical "industrialists,"…
"Being there" in the flesh was no distinction for me as a filmmaker; anyone who visits this center of the Occupy movement at Zuccotti Park can see it: for every three people raising their voices in protest, one person is pointing a camera/camcorder/smartphone at them.

On February 20, 2011, the Park Avenue Armory's inaugural Tune-In Festival concluded with an historic performance of John Luther Adams' epic composition for large percussion ensemble, "Inuksuit." As he described it during the pre-performance discussion, he conceived the work originally for outdoor performance, using an ensemble as large as 100 musicians. This first indoor performance, of 78 musicians, exploited the vast space of the Armory (along…
I shot this footage on October 18, 2010 in Chicago, Illinois. The music is from the score that I wrote in 1998 for the stage play "Machinal" by Sophie Treadwell, with myself on keyboards and Marilyn Park on violin. The object of the footage is Tony Tasset's temporary public sculpture called "Eye," on view through October 31, 2010.
