Description
In CELESTIAL SUBWAY LINES, avant-garde filmmaker Ken Jacobs joins forces with a likeminded musical counterpart, John Zorn, whose maverick reputation in the jazz world mirrors the status Jacobs enjoys in the film world. Constructed without a conventional narrative, the film offers viewers a trip into the improvised world that Jacobs and Zorn conjure up, with some bizarre imagery from Jacobs forming a forceful connection with the unhinged wailing of Zorn's saxophone. Originally unveiled in 2004 at the Anthology Film Archives in New York City, CELESTIAL SUBWAY LINES is an absorbing meeting of minds.
