This short documentary film was commissioned by onedotzero festival in 2001 and is the second instalment of the “Gilligan’s Travels” project. Featuring the voice of wandering street poet and philosopher Robert Alan Weiser, this film continues his monologue with a tale of two cities. Taking us from the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco and the west coast of California, to the twin towers and busy streets of New York City.
The film blends a host of different documentary material gathered on various trips to the USA, shot on Super8 and early digital cameras. It also uses some motion graphic sequences and analog stills photography to weave its experimental approach to the travelog. It features an original sound track by electronic artist Scanone, AKA audio-visual artist Jude Greenaway.
