OTHER CINEMA: Lynne Sachs and Mark Street's GARDEN OF VERSES

From archival snips of an educational film on the weather to cine-poems in full blossom, New York film "avant-gardeners" Sachs and Street cultivate an evening of cinematic seeds and mordant vines. Ten short films, both single and double screen, reap audio-visual crops from the fertile soil of the filmmakers' florid imaginations. In this mulch of visual ruminations on nature's topsy-turvy shakeup of our lives, they ponder a city child's tentative excavation of the urban forest, winter wheat, and the great American deluge of the 21st Century (so far). Agricultural relics and small works of farm-cycle literature are provided free.
