Jon Jost returns to Ciné Salon with a handful of artful collage images of differing kinds – cinematic, visual and poetic – and a few songs with similar related qualities. “How about we look at TOURISTS (2020, 100 mins) which is structurally very much a collage; then a handful of collage images of differing kinds which are related in my mind, philosophically to how I think of narrative.”
