These Streets Will Never Look the Same

It is a very slow ride. Mitchell Stafiej's conceptual experimental film invites the audience to resist the head-spinning speed of modern capitalism and witness the destruction it wreaks on the landscapes of the United States. The camera is mounted on the windshield of a car that glides very slowly across the continent.The radio plays a carefully curated program, thoughtfully designed to complement the journey and address various social and ecological issues in poetic and direct ways.. The film offers an apocalyptic portrait of America and the impact of capitalism, which is always intertwined with speed. This is an anti-road movie on the road, a western without a frontier, a phantom ride to the heart of American capitalism. (Senem Aytaç)
