PUBLIC NOTICE: AN EXHAUSTED FILM

Presenting a live-cinema performance by Ofri Cnaani, Cheryl Kaplan and Kathryn Alexander

Powered by a failing battery, PUBLIC NOTICE is an episodic tale that begins with a mock-trial.

The work combines folly, tragedy and history as it travels peripatetically through urban and peripheral

landscapes and international borders. This frame-by-frame account, created from an unstable visual system, examines loyalty to country and place. The cinematic event ends when the battery runs out of power. The film, presented by First Street Green and BMW Guggenheim Lab, is free. and open to the public.
