We are proud to host a week
of screenings of works by Richard Sandler, who
received a 2006 Guggenheim Fellowship
for filmmaking. These include:
The Gods of Times Square
(1998) 112 minutes
About the plethora of religious zealots that (daily) would gather
there to preach against the "sins" of secular life.
The backdrop for their rants were the 60-foot supermodels and
pop neon signs whose subconscious proselytizing pitch is packaged
in the primary colors of conformity. The work was shot from 1992-1998
as Times Square was "Disneyfied" for the new millennium.
Brave New York (2004)
55 minutes
Celebrates the East Village in all its fabulous diversity. Shot
from 1992-2004, it chronicles the gentrification of the "hood."
The movie's main voices are those of the artists, street people
and activists whose commentaries on the dominant culture give
pause amidst the speedy approach of a "Brave New World."
Sway (2006)
32 minutes
A free-form documentary edited from 14 years of shooting video
in the New York subways.
Everybody Is Hurting
(2006) 52 minutes
A documentary about the day of 9/11, and the soul searching and
muscular debate that raged in union square park in the weeks following.
a/k/a Martha's Vineyard
(2006) 15 minutes
A work in progress for a feature film doc about the lovely Massachusetts
isle as seen from the perspectives of the Wampanoag Indian tribe,
the island's indigenous people. :
