Arcs of Texture directed by Ken Paul Rosenthal USA, Experimental, 2006, Mini-DV, Color, other, 00:06:00 Arcs of Texture is a lyrical, energized portrait of an urban landscape in motion. Underground trains, streetcars, buses and escalators embody the impressionistic beauty of architectural reflections like moving paintings. The face of the San Francisco is rendered as a light-infused intersection of people, glass, and concrete.

The second part takes place above ground and features an original score with gamelans, guitar loops, sampled car door locks and brake pumps.
