BOOK FOUND
INTRODUCED BY DIRECTOR JEM COHEN
This
mesmerizing documentary was inspired by the filmmaker's discovery of a
mysterious notebook filled with obsessive listings of places, objects,
and incidents. Its pages influenced Cohen's relationship to New York,
and his resulting film brings to light an underground city, unconsidered
geographies, and layered artifacts. 1996, U.S., 37 minutes.
