(James Benning, US 2007, 111 min., 16mm)

Without any sort of conventional narration and using a stationary camera, avant-garde filmmaker Benning films 43 trains in locations all over the United States. What ultimately emerges through a carefully structured series of shots and a subtle, but evocative sound design, is a study of American consumerism and consumption. Benning’s last film on 16mm is an unusual and unforgettable movie experience not to be missed. Members admitted free.
