The Republic ()
Directed by James N. Kienitz Wilkins
Overview
The Republic , t he never-before-seen visionary new feature film by emerging artist James N. Kienitz Wilkins and frequent collaborator, writer Robin Schavoir, is an epic story about a group of American libertarians told in an utterly unique way. Both an audio performance and an experimental film, a balance of the practical and the conceptual, the piece features an ensemble cast of 15 actors, each individually recorded and then edited together sentence-by-sentence to create an unforgettable spoken word experience that activates the power of the mind’s eye. As the drama unfolds, the image slowly transitions from pure black to blinding white throughout the duration of the film, defying the boundaries of screen size and resolution.
Length 215 minutes
