James Benning w/ Kay

Hitch a ride with Carlo and Kay as they take the conversational scenic-route through the James Benning filmography (44:30). It’s peaceful, wandering, and contemplative, as you’d expect.

But first in Appetizers, Carlo delves into the mind of Kay and we discuss Casa Bonita, Skinamarink, and Letterboxd lists among other topics (12:00).

Then the James Benning deep dive begins, including:

44:30 The United States of America (1975), James’ personal history and slow cinema, Benning documentaries (James Benning: Circling the Image & Double Play: James Benning and Richard Linklater), and touch upon the Harvard Sensory Ethnography Lab.

2:40:00 the California Trilogy (Valley El Centro, Los, Sogobi),

3:33:30 RR

3:40:00 L. Cohen

3:49:00 Ruhr

3:53:00 Small Roads

3:56:00 Twenty Cigarettes
