Over 24 days, Aitken traveled cross-country aboard a nine-car train full of musicians, visual artists, and curators—among them Ariel Pink, Thurston Moore, THEEsatisfaction, Cat Power, Suicide, and Giorgio Moroder—who stopped along the way to mount incredible performances, exquisitely documented in this eclectic grab bag of a film.

Multimedia artist Doug Aitken embarked on what is easily the most ambitious cross-country rail journey of the 21st century: over 24 days, he traveled from New York to California aboard a nine-car train full of musicians, visual artists, and curators, stopping along the way to mount dazzling, site-specific happenings. Comprised of 62 one-minute films that document the before, during, and after of each participant’s experience/performance, this incredible experiment in cross-country creativity includes musical luminaries like Ariel Pink, Thurston Moore, THEEsatisfaction, Cat Power, Suicide, Giorgio Moroder, and a dozen others. This exquisite and eclectic grab bag of a doc is not to be missed.
