The 4th of July

experimental short

 

Anna Faroqhi

Not an ordinary day in New York, not an ordinary day in a relationship. The film shows documentary images of the preparations and celebration of Independence Day in New York. On the sound level, a woman (voice: Cynthia Beatt) tells of the end of a relationship.

Faroqhi shows pictures of New York just before the fall of the Twin Towers. Since then, the images have lost their innocence. Police barriers, fire trucks and explosions are charged with new meaning by the events of history.
