Two Wrenching Departures (2006)

Two Wrenching Departures plot

This film was originally part of Jacobs' so-called Nervous System performances and was first screened in 1990. The Nervous System performances were performed with two projectors and the necessary 3D and other optical effects and were by definition unique and one-off due to the improvisations of operator Ken Jacobs himself. In 1989, two friends (albeit estranged) died in quick succession: Bob Fleischner, filmmaker and founder of the Collective for Living Cinema, and Jack Smith, the most legendary of all New York avant-garde filmmakers. Jacobs had worked closely with Smith in particular, and because of that collaboration he had a wealth of film material from the two artists. 'Two Wrenching Departures' provides insight into the early years of New York new cinema in a way that makes its visual richness and capriciousness tangible. Visual vibrations from a cosmic time.
