THE STOAS

Directed by Robert Beavers
United States, 1997
Avant-Garde, Short

Synopsis

The title refers to the colonnades that led to the shady groves of the ancient Lyceum, here remembered in shots of industrial arcades, bathed in golden morning light, as quietly empty of human figures as Atget’s survey photos portrayed with the careful composition on 19th century landscape painting.
