“‘On the occasion of the publication of NYC film scholar and critic Genevieve Yue’s book Trains—part of Fordham Press’s Cutaways series, each entry a journey through the history of cinema guided by a single motif or formal device—Metrograph presents a two-part series curated by Yue on the criss-crossing fates of two of the 20th-century’s foundational technologies, continuing in November with Long Distance Passages, an exploration of long-distance train rides on-screen. ‘Long distance trains take us out of the everyday, to romance, adventure, or the possibilities of a new life that awaits beyond the unfurling horizon.” — Metrograph · Read more
