Kranzberg Arts Center
KDHX and Grand Center presented "Grand Center Shorts," a film invitational where five Saint Louis directors were asked to create four-to-seven minute films using the Grand Center district as a backdrop. The films premiered at the Kranzberg Arts Center and at the St. Louis International Film Festival. Click Read More to watch the films.
The result of the event is five creative and altogether different films with varying storylines and in a variety of genres. Here is the lineup of films:
The Renaissance of the River City, by Carson Minow – a short documentary on the cultural and social restoration of Saint Louis City.
The Watcher, by Richard Taylor – a chronicle of the comings and goings of everyday people through the eyes of a Gargoyle that sits high above on the cornice of one of the Grand Center buildings.
Wings, by Zlatko Cosic – an experimental movie taking the audience through an abstract journey using dance and the architecture of Grand Center to tell the story.
Coda, by Kenny Kinds – a story of the things that drive us; how memories actively shape us every day as experienced through the eyes of character, Wes Journey.
The Grand Plot, by Joe Millitzer and Katie Johannes Millitzer – an animated film noir that combines hand drawn illustration and computer animation. Two short musical numbers and a vivid cast of characters add to the humorous tale of mystery and misunderstanding.
The Kranzberg Arts Center is located at 501 N. Grand in Saint Louis. For additional information call 314.289.1591.
