Borderland - I Walked a Far Piece

About This Movie

Borderland - I Walked a Far Piece is a fascinating piece by Melik Ohanian. Set against the backdrop of a floating New York rooftop, the film creates an almost dream-like atmosphere through its nocturnal bonfire lighting. The pacing is a bit languid, which might not suit everyone, but it invites you to really soak in the ambiance. Ohanian draws on characters from Rudolf Wurlitzer’s novel, Flats, introducing themes of isolation and connection in a dislocated space. It's unique, for sure, with its raw, almost theatrical feel that blurs the lines between performance and narrative. Definitely an intriguing watch for those interested in experimental cinema.

Borderland - I Walked a Far Piece is not widely circulated, making it a rarity among collectors. Its unconventional format and artistic approach have garnered it a niche following, particularly among those who appreciate experimental works. While it may not have the mainstream appeal, its distinctiveness and the blend of literature with visual art give it a certain allure. Some editions may be harder to find than others, which adds to its collector interest.
