The Small Change Screening Series and the International House Present:
Two Films by JEM COHEN!
Smells Like Teen Spirit
2007, video, 8 mins, color
Jem Cohen presents Patti Smith’s unique take on the Nirvana hit.
Building A Broken Mousetrap
2006, video, 62 mins, color
Jem Cohen captures Dutch punk legends "The Ex" in a performance at New York City’s Knitting Factory. The explosive, politically charged music of The Ex is inter-cut with New York City street scenes including footage of protests from the 2004 Republican convention. Capturing the magic and precision of a group of musicians who have been performing together for decades, Jem Cohen’s film is a powerful musical experience.
