Premonition (1995)

Directed by Dominic Angerame

Short | Documentary | Music

Overview

The San Francisco Embarcadero Freeway comes to life in this elegy for modernity. The Freeway was deemed a triumph of engineering, a monument for human inventiveness. With the 1989 earthquake, however, the freeway was severely damaged and with it all the industrial-technological promises it held. Premonition shows the situation before the crisis, a deceptive moment of industrial harmony.

Viewing Notes

Really dug this short film shot around the Bay Bridge in San Francisco. Very ethereal with the music behind the black and white glimpses of San Fran. The stark contrast in these mostly vacant shots give the urban landscape an eerie calmness to what is usually a bustling city. Neat stuff via Fandor.
