Introduction by Madeleine Russo

Mechanics' Cinema is presented by a chorus of filmmakers and thinkers of cinema, reflecting together on the enduring significance of the art form, on cinema’s historical and contemporary conditions, and on a series of remarkable films.

Each film in the program has been selected by a different member of the collective, who will present for 10 minutes prior to the screening.
