Mark Rappaport | 1977 | 106'

Local Color is a film about eight people whose lives overlap and touch the lives of several others among the eight, in strange and sometimes unexpected configurations. Familial ties, sexual involvements, an inescapable past, shared dreams. The plot itself is too complicated to synopsize with any degree of coherence. In a sense, the movie is the plot and the plot is the movie. Except that the plot is irrelevant. [...] And of course there is a gun which figures prominently in the proceedings.” – Mark Rappaport

This month we are having a partial retrospective of the work of American filmmaker Mark Rappaport, an exponent of the New York 1970s independent cinema scene, who now based in Paris, hasn't ceased to release thought-provoking films year after year. Rappaport will be at Cavia on the 18th February for a Q&A followed by the screening of his revered classic, The Scenic Route (1978).
