Gropius Memory Palace
56th New York Film Festival
September 28 - October 14, 2018
Part architectural film, part ASMR exercise, this observational study of Walter Gropius’s famed shoe warehouse, The Fagus Factory, is a meditation in every sense.
Part architectural film, part ASMR exercise, this observational study of Walter Gropius’s famed shoe warehouse, The Fagus Factory, is a meditation in every sense. Opening against soft white light and the soothing sounds of a hypnotherapist’s voice, Ben Thorp Brown’s film transports the audience inside Gropius’s landmark. Droning ambience and languid images of laborers at work foster a psychoanalytic space through which the viewer may deeply consider the nature of memory and its constant negotiation between context and content.
This free screening will play on loop at the Elinor Bunin Munroe Film Center Amphitheater at the following times:
Oct. 4: 2-6 pm, 9-11 pm
Oct. 6: 12-6 pm, 9-11 pm
