“Out in the world, no one sleeps. No one, no one”
Sleepless city (Brooklyn Bridge Nocturne)
Federico García Lorca
15min, HD, 2015.
A nocturnal walk through the exemplary city of the XXth century, The Big Apple. The darkness and solitude of the night make the places, and the people, change completely.
The film shows the famous touristic attractions but also little anonymous corners that carry a personal meaning for the filmmaker such as skate spots, the site of Andy Warhol’s Factory, the Maysles Cinema and the houses of deceased friends.
Dedicated to:
Ali Rafiy (1972-2002) & Moe Rafiy (1976-2007).
After Paris and Tokyo, third in a series dedicated to Cities at night.
