Recommended Cinema: City Symphony Film Challenge

November 19th, 2007 by Damon

Seattle readers looking for something to do tonight:

Haymaker & Sally co-director Jason Reid was the director of photography for Grey Linings, a short appearing in the City Symphony Film Challenge at the Northwest Film Forum. Here’s the Northwest Film Forum’s snippet about the Challenge:

With all the new development happening in Seattle, there’s no better time document this cultural, architectural, and social change going on! The City has inspired filmmakers from the beginnings of cinema. This quarter’s film challenge asks Seattle filmmakers to create their own city symphony, a genre with roots that go back to the everyday images recorded by Auguste and Louis Lumière in the 1890s and came into being with MANHATTA in 1921. City Symphonies are motion pictures that capture the spirit and uniqueness of a city by assembling images of everyday life in that city. Use the city to explore ideas of reflection, space, rhythm and transformation.

    Damon - Was Band of Horses the better choice for the night? They rocked the Showbox

    Grey Linings was good and a few others were, too, but you probably made the right decision.
