"Our City Dreams"

Submitted by Anne Dalke on Fri, 06/07/2013 - 8:23am.

So this week I also previewed four movies as possibilities for our class:
Crash (which I like, a lot…but it’s not very playful!);
Fire in in the Mirror (also: marvelous…and just as tough re: the racial issues, but w/ much more play, because the whole range of positionalities is performed by a single woman…might this be a possibility??);
In the Realms of the Unreal (also compelling, but not about the city…); and
Our City Dreams (which traces the history/showcases the work of five women artists…several of them speak of the energy of New York as central to their work, but again: there seems to be not enough focus on that).

I’m realizing that PLAY AND the CITY is a tricky combo…so far, not much that really works this dynamic...
