Description

The city as subject figures strongly in the history of film. From the "city symphony" films of the 1920's to the film noir films of the 1940's and 1950's to BLADE RUNNER, the utopian and dystopian city remains a constant theme. This program, of SOMETHING MORE THAN NIGHT (pictured, 2003, dir. Daniel Eisenberg, 73 min.) and NIGHT PATROL (2020, dir. Kye Stone, 12 min.) reveals Chicago at night from myriad perspectives, seasons, and sites, and draws attention to those workers who make the city run, invisible to the rest of us, while preparing the urban space for the next day...and the day after. Stone in conversation via Zoom.
