Slow Down: River to River

Slowing down is often overlooked as New Yorkers sprint to their next stop, office, coffee shop. Through vignettes of performance set within the busy city landscape of Lower Manhattan, Slow Down: River to River asks the viewer to take a moment, reflect and immerse themselves in the imagery created by the artists, dancers and people of New York. Slow Down: River to River is an experimental documentary about the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council's 17th Annual River to River Festival. It features the work of Yoko Ono and Pam Tanowitz in addition to performances restaged for camera.

Ralentir est un geste souvent négligé à New York, où les habitants courent d’un rendez-vous à l’autre — bureau, café, prochaine destination. À travers une série de vignettes performatives au cœur du paysage urbain animé du Lower Manhattan, Slow Down: River to River invite le spectateur à faire une pause, à réfléchir et à s’immerger dans les images créées par les artistes, danseurs et habitants de New York. Slow Down: River to River est un documentaire expérimental consacré à la 17ᵉ édition du River to River Festival, organisé par le Lower Manhattan Cultural Council. Le film présente notamment les œuvres de Yoko Ono et Pam Tanowitz, ainsi que des performances recréées spécialement pour la caméra.
