Interview with Jem Cohen

Q: Do you have any interesting behind-the-scenes stories about the making of this particular work?

A: I think it's interesting that many of the shots in the film are now prohibited by the authorities due to supposed security concerns. I thought that these prohibitions were somewhat theoretical until police confiscated the film from my camera a few months ago for shooting the passing New York City landscape from a train. (They didn't take footage that I was shooting for this piece, but they might as well have.)
