N.Y, NY.: a day in New York

A contribution to the 'city symphony' films, N.Y., N.Y. presents a series of surreal urban images following an underlying diurnal (as opposed to nocturnal - ed.) structure which shows the everyday in a new light. Through a variety of lenses, reflectors, special optical effects and editing, Thompson distorts and creates a city. The accompanying soundtrack moves from concrete sounds to abstract jazz with alternating tempos evoking both time and place.
