Circumstantial Pleasures

Lewis Klahr

2020 / 65’ / USA

A striking elaboration on a signature style, with “story” all but evacuated, a feature-length collection of six episodes that combine footage of found images and objects with original music to create abstract political commentary proceed less like an album of potent recollections and more like a stream of agitated consciousness. This provocative film uniquely illuminates the gritty emotional & physical textures of what it’s like to be alive right now.
