Special Screening This Sat. 11/10 at 8PM: “Phoebe Zeitgeist”
November 5th, 2007 By Christopher AllenHere’s some info on a special screening at UnionDocs Saturday, November 11 at 8pm. This film by David Zuckerman was shot on 16mm over a week this summer using exteriors and interiors of 322 Union Ave. Drinks and Discussion will follow the film.
Adapted from the play Blood on the Cat’s Neck by Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Phoebe
Zeitgeist in the City of the White Wolf follows the comic book character Phoebe
Zeitgeist. Sent to the earth from a distant star to write an eyewitness account of human
democracy Phoebe Zeitgeist has difficulty, because although she has learned the words
she doesn’t understand human language. Ms. Zeitgeist witnesses a series of vignette-like
dialogues between various representatives of society- cop, model, lover, soldier – feeding
off their all too human words and empty aphorisms and regurgitating them in a
comic/tragic/vampiric outburst of interstellar communication breakdown. Phoebe
Zeitgeist in the City of the White Wolf. 45mins. 16mm. Adapted and Directed by David
Zuckerman.
