About

Text and Context is in three parts. First we see a series of very brief shots of city street corners, taken with a stationary camera. The shots are separated by black leader, and, in each, either people or automobiles pass quickly through the field of view. Then comes a sequence of longer shots identical to those of the first group except that they contain no movement. These are separated from each other by a cap being placed over the lens, and each is internally divided by a brief section of black leader. The third section is a series of shots made in new locations, but which are internally complete and contain no movement. During each shot of this last group, a voice-over lists the people and cars that we saw moving in the first section, e.g., "A woman in pink," "A white car," "A white car and a red car." The shots are of different lengths; sometimes the visual is longer than the sound track and sometimes the visual cuts off the sound before the list of moving people and cars is complete. -David James, "Six Films by Ken Feingold"
