TWST – Things We Said Today
Taking its title from The Beatles song of the same name, and using the Fab Four’s arrival in the United States for their now legendary 1965 Shea Stadium concert as a launchpad, TWST - Things We Said Today takes this moment to harness a snapshot of the America of the time, a collage of captured reality and ethereal memory.
Weaving together archive footage overlaid with animations, and narrated personal accounts threaded with a fictional short story, director Andrei Ujica’s expertly curated visual symphony takes us floating through contrasting perceptions, from Beatlemania to the Watts Riots, the streets of Harlem to The World’s Fair.
