James Benning: 11 x 14 (1977)

@ Doc Films at the University of Chicago

1212 E 59th St, Chicago, IL 60637

Opening Sunday, April 28th, at 8PM

11 x 14 (1977)
James Benning · 83m · 16mm

In his first feature-length film, Benning curates a narrative from otherwise passive images of Middle America: A lesbian couple travels the Midwest, a hitchhiker continues on, a man brushes with infidelity. Geometric compositions render every image a postcard of the in-betweens of American life. This poignant meditation on filmic evocation shows but never tells.
