Join us at the Film-Makers' Cooperative (475 Park Avenue South, 6th Floor) on Friday, November 8th, at 7pm, for a collection of MiniDV short experimental films directed by John Winn. Halfway between the cinemas of Budd Boetticher and Jean-Claude Rousseau, these romantically minor movies juxtapose the visual and sonic reveries of the western genre with the minutiae of everyday life.
