I came back to the city I thought I knew — Los Angeles. My only savior became a tape recorder. Click. Start. Red light glow. Using short ends of 16mm, I went out with my DP while the streets were empty, and tried to capture the lonely beauty in five days time. In turn, I found myself. Here is my love letter to the place I can’t seem to shake.

From its distinctive neighborhoods to its architectural homes, Los Angeles has been the backdrop to countless movies. In this dazzling work, Andersen takes viewers on a whirlwind tour through the metropolis' real and cinematic history, investigating the myriad stories and legends that have come to define it, and meticulously, judiciously revealing the real city that lives beneath.

A compilation of over 30 years of private home movie footage shot by Lithuanian-American avant-garde director Jonas Mekas, assembled by Mekas "purely by chance", without concern for chronological order.
