LAX1980

"A true city film, L.A.X. combines majestic aerial shots of the hills and skylines with grittier footage shot on the streets of Hollywood to construct a truthful reflection of the many disparate elements that come together as the city of Los Angeles. Described by film scholar David James as a 'disabused, skeptical rendering of the city's grittier underside' which reveals 'the noir realities behind the sunshine.' Ziolkowski's work marked a high point in the burgeoning L.A. avant-garde film scene of the 1970's." - From the Harvard Film Archive's catalogs
