On March 22, Forum director Christoph Terhechte will present the New York premiere of Thomas Imbach's DAY IS DONE at UnionDocs. The film received its world premiere as part of the Forum 2011 as had Imbach's previous films LENZ and I WAS A SWISS BANKER. In 2007 the Arsenal presented a showcase of the Swiss filmmaker's work.
Combining over twenty years of 35mm film footage shot outside of his Zurich studio window with answering machine messages which mark the passing of time, Imbach builds the narrative of DAY IS DONE around personal autobiographical documents. The music of Bob Dylan, Syd Barrett, and John Frusciante help move this innovative hybrid doc.
