Premiere of Hartmut Bitomsky's DUST at Film Forum! (Event Over)

IT DOESN’T GET MORE BASIC THAN DUST. And it is only a filmmaker of Harmut Bitomsky’s stature who could successfully tackle a subject so seemingly uncinematic — by bringing to it a rigorous intelligence and a masterful visual imagination. DUST scours industrial sites and office building interiors, paint factories, and demolition sites. It deals with dust-repellent products, the medicinal cost of dust, the history of the Dust Bowl and the aftereffects of the dust created on 9/11. The definitive film on an elusive phenomenon that is both everywhere and nowhere.

"A thought-provoking micro-lens through which to view the world.
Part philosophy, part science, DUST amounts to a kind of contemplative poetry."

– Nicolas Rapold, Film Comment
