[Frameworks] Single-shot fixed camera landscape/cityscape films

Sat Feb 7 18:11:49 UTC 2015

Alfred Guzzettti made two pieces like this. One is "Calcutta Intersection" (2003), a ten-minute shot looking down on an intersection from a hotel balcony in an upscale neighborhood, with direct sound, while text from several Calcutta newspapers that morning scrolls across the bottom, with local news and personal care advice. You end up thinking about the Calcutta that isn’t on the screen.

The other is “America Central” (2004) a seven-minute shot of a street in a small rural town in Nicaragua, while we hear a CNN broadcast in that town with its relentless focus on Washington, D.C. as if no other place exists on earth.
