Synopsis

New York City’s bridges are reimagined through montage, superimposition, and vivid color, transforming industrial architecture into rhythmic visual abstraction. Accompanied by a jazz score by Teo Macero, the film renders the urban landscape musical, kinetic, and alive (an alternate version of the film features an electronic score by Louis and Bebe Barron).
