[[file:Oporto talk Feb 10 2012 revd.rtf]]Oporto text on the film "LES"
This is the script of a talk I gave at the Porto screening room in Lisbon on February 10th, 2012. It is somewhat expanded and revised. The talk was a response to, and reflection on the film “LES” by Coleen Fitzgibbon, its personae and context. The film was screened first on DVD, and then I talked. I showed pictures, websites, and videos online; many of the URLs are stuck into this script. Afterwards, we had a very nice dinner! “L.E.S (Lower East Side)” by Coleen Fitzgibbon, 1976. (Super-8mm transferred to digital video). “The story of the collapse of the problematic island of Manhattan, whose inhabitants worshiped the god of mamon, John Doe." still from Coleen Fitzgibbon's film "LES" -- from the [], somewhere in the USA
