Screened in January 2011
Director: Jeff Malmberg. Documentary about a recovering trauma victim in upstate New York who builds and narrativizes a populated scale model of an entire
Belgian town in his backyard, as a sort of self-appointed therapy project. Interview subjects include Mark Hogancamp, Edda Hogancamp, Emmanuel Nneji,
Colleen Vargo, Bert Bodie, Tom Neubauer, Julie Swarthout, Lisa Bruck, Ruthie Hotaling, David Naugle, and Tod Lippy.Twitter Capsule:
Kingston, NY, is the new Synecdoche! Hogancamp's art fascinates, but film stays benignly dumbfounded, delving too little.
