Fall Semester

American Dreams (lost and found)

Milwaukee-born filmmaker James Benning’s austere personal history of the USA from 1954 to 1976, told through an amalgamation of his Hank Aaron card collection with the scrolling scrawl of would-be Nixon assassin Arthur Bremer’s diaries. Benning describes the film as an homage to his own coming-of-age, combining his love of baseball with interests in American history, politics, and popular culture to achieve a formally complex and aesthetically challenging take on the American Dream.

Eight Bridges | Milwaukee Premiere

“It seems to be the time to consider bridges.” James Benning’s latest exercise in looking and listening centers on meeting points between built and natural worlds, ranging from the cinematic (San Francisco’s Golden Gate) to the historical (Selma’s Edmund Pettus) to the self-referential (North Dakota’s Hi-Line Railroad). Its rich sound and painterly compositions seize variously on the passing of clouds, the flowing of water, and the churn of commuters to link physical manifestations of the American project with contemporary flows of people and capital.
