INVISIBLE CITY

Invisible City is a cinematic parable that takes place across two time zones. A Jewish couple on the run from the Nazis in 1938 suddenly find themselves in a desolate future world where history and memory have been outlawed. Their struggle is to preserve their love and their culture in this strange and anonymous place by invoking the terrifying power of memory.

"Mapping the Invisible City: once upon a time there was a place, in Europe, where poets and hustlers, scholars and shlemiels lived side by side a cluster of disparate souls bound together by love: a love of the spiritual a love of life itself. Now, that place exists only in memory as a sketchy network of signs, impressions, sensations. It might be called the 'Invisible City'; because, like countless other places and communities, it has been erased from the map of history. This is the place where I come from." (Mark Jay)
