Overview

LEFT SIDE, RIVERSIDE experimentally documents the filmmaker's experience of Riverside Park, on the left side of Manhattan. The film combines "live action" footage and in-camera double exposures. This footage is then further layered by superimposing and bi-packing the camera footage with handmade and hand-painted film frames created from plants and flowers gleaned in Riverside Park. The ambient sounds come from both Riverside Park and the filmmaker’s childhood home in northeastern Missouri.
