Shot over a period of three years. Marie Menken photographed New York window displays during the Christmas holiday. In order to avoid foot and street traffic interrupting the shots, Menken filmed from midnight to 1:00 in the morning, but had to keep the camera under her coat to keep it from freezing.
“A staggering achievement of craft and ambition. Marie Menken's vision lands with breathtaking precision.”
“Every frame feels alive. Lights is the rare release that takes its audience seriously.”
