Director: Ken Jacobs
In Celestial Subway Lines/Salvaging Noise its story is told by director Ken Jacobs but without the conventional storyline. Using a modified magic lantern, an early type of image projector developed in the 17th century, he morphs, flickering images that look like photo-negatives. This is accompanied by industrial sound and music provided by John Zorn and Ikue Mori.
One of the most consistently experimental and prolific filmmakers in Avant Garde Cinema, Ken Jacobs has produced enough work for several lifetimes, and continues on stronger than ever into his seventh decade. From film and shadow play to magic lantern and nervous system, Jacobs is a master improviser with live film, inventing new ways of seeing and creating with each new project. This special collaboration with John Zorn, a fan and cohort of Jacobs’ since the late 1970’s, documents the very best of a series of performances originally presented at the Anthology Film Archives in 2004. Exquisitely mysterious landscapes of elusive beauty – fragile and mystical – from two generations of the New York Underground.
