Gotham

Monday, February 1st, 2010

“New York is peculiarly constructed to absorb any event that comes along, without inflicting the event on its inhabitants; so that every event is, in a sense, optional, and the inhabitant is in the happy position of being able to choose his spectacle and so conserve his soul… I believe (this) has a positive effect on the creative capacities of New Yorkers—for creation is in part the business of forgoing the great and small distractions.”
—Here is New York, E.B White, Summer 1948

Below are some excerpts from Bill Morrison and Michael Gordan’s collaboration with Gotham. The music is beautiful and truly emotional. The excerpts from the film look great as well, hopefully I can figure out a way to see the film.
