Very Gentle Work

Travail très soigné

Quinzaine 2024 | Short film | 24 min | United States of America

World premiere

In this film that combines documentary, fiction and essay, a man relates, in methodical voice-over, an alternative map of Manhattan based around acts of revolutionary violence that have taken place there. Very Gentle Work’s penchant for topography and archive is reminiscent of Sebald’s literature.
