Made a film with @benjamincrais.bsky.social—something like a re-staging of Ray's On Dangerous Ground that traverses some of Ray's actual haunts (nyc in the 30s, upstate ny in the 70s). premiering sep. 12 at I Mille Occhi, truly wild programming: www.imilleocchi.com/1000occhi_programma25_online.pdf
everything in this (from the translations to the original pieces) is really good! not something to miss!
