Untitled (34bsp)
Untitled (34bsp) is a 35mm film that was shot on-site at the Ciccillo Matarazzo Pavilion, an iconic building designed by architect Oscar Niemeyer which has been the home of the Bienal de São Paulo since 1957. In this new work, which was co-produced by Phileas, Fleischmann reflects on the cultural impact of the monumental 30.000 square meter pavilion and interacts with its physical space through the medium of film, using a series of large, site-specific cameras that become sculptural forms traveling through the building from floor to ceiling.
Without a Home
Filmmaker Rachel Fleischer spent four years creating this extraordinary documentary that enters the lives of six homeless individuals in her hometown of Los Angeles. The film's subjects include families in temporary housing, a street performer who depends on banjo-playing for income, and a heroin-addicted man living in Skid Row - an area of the city that contains one of the largest homeless populations in the U.S. Intertwined with each tale is the story of Fleischer herself, as she attempts to walk the fine line between telling the stories of her subjects and helping those in need. As the film's intimate and powerful stories confront our preconceived notions regarding homelessness, Fleischer's journey unflinchingly reveals the challenges and triumphs that arise when we choose to help those without a home.
