Movie Map: SF 03

2003, 8:50 min, color, sound

In Movie Map, Lord interweaves classic chase scenes from two San Francisco films, Bullitt and Hitchcock's Vertigo. As he "maps" the city through cinema, juxtaposing the appropriated images of Steve McQueen and James Stewart driving through San Francisco with his own footage of neighborhood movie theaters, Lord investigates the links between memory and site, media culture and geography.
