'New Semantics' is a new series of three screenings presenting and contextualising the first public showing of brilliant new work by three young contemporary artists working in London.
Paterson - Lodz crosses between cinema and installation. Incorporating the filmic essay, expanded cinema and new media, a series of soundscapes and recorded interviews are randomly selected by a computer each time the film is screened - shown here in its entirety three times. Alternating between black screens and beautiful fixed shots of glass panels made from impressions of the ground in Paterson, USA and Lodz, Poland, it describes a complex picture of history, identity and migration through two key events: the involvement of the Jewish populations of both towns in the 1905 revolution in Lodz and the 1913 Paterson Silk Strike.
Paterson - Lodz, 2006, 16mm, total running time c.60mins
