Public Hearing (2012) dir. James N. Kienitz Wilkins

Public Hearing is the verbatim reperformance of a rural American town meeting from a transcript downloaded as publicly available information. Shot entirely in cinematic closeup on blackandwhite 16mm film, a cast of actors and nonactors read between the lines in an ironic debate over the replacement of an existing WalMart with a super WalMart.
