An unlikely connection is formed over the next 24 hours through city parks abandoned apartments and art galleries throughout industrial Brooklyn. Achingly sincere and shot with a painterly eye Katz's approach is refreshingly devoid of romantic clich s.Also included: Katz's impressionistic and tenderly heartbreaking debut Dance Party USA hailed as "one of the best films of the year" (The New York Sun).This 2-DVD set contains his first two features DANCE PARTY USA (2006) and QUIET CITY (2007) .
