This short film documents the daily life of the goings-on on Orchard Street, a commercial street in the Lower East Side New York City.

Footage of Orchard Street from 1953 and 1975, put together for an opening of James Fuentes Gallery in 2010 on Delancey Street. You see the commercial bustle of Orchard Street before it turned into art gallery street. I lived at 95 Orchard during 1953-55, after my escape from Brooklyn….

One of the most extraordinary personalities in the history of moving images, native New Yorker Ken Jacobs, and his wife and long-time creative partner Flo Jacobs, sit down for a series of discussions, reflecting on numerous clips from the many films and performances conjured onto screens since 1955 and through to today. From the antic collaborations with Jack Smith and company as a central artist in the 1960s underground film movement, through later, seminal, ground-breaking formalist works which expanded his recognition by The Museum of Modern Art and other major cultural institutions, to his invention of the Nervous System and the Cyclopean 3D patented Eternalism and remarkable musical collaborations (with JG Thirlwell, Aki Onda, Nisi Jacobs, Michael Schumacher and others) of his recent work, Jacobs demonstrates and articulates his endless fascination and pursuit of exceptional, moving image art.
