CASTING A GLANCE
Directed by James Benning, 2007.
In casting a glance one artist pays tribute to another as James Benning offers his filmic paean to Robert Smithson's legendary earthwork sculpture, the Spiral Jetty. With RR, his homage to the American railroad, the filmmaker brings an era to its close by going back to cinema's roots. Shot back-to-back over a period of two years, these works marked James Benning's farewell to analogue filmmaking and together constitute the profound "last words" on the film medium by one of its most singular innovators.
