Ben Stamper

A reordering and condensing of Ben Stamper's 2.5 hour film installation entitled "The Hidden Season" (2017-18).

"This film is our little collection of approximations on how to stay human as long as possible. It’s a desperate love letter to the subconscious in a time of hellish pragmatism.” —Ben Stamper

Beyond Repair explores how the past shapes people's lives and how all of us struggle - perhaps for our entire lives - to come to some of understanding of that influence. Rockaway and Coney Island, beautiful history-haunted neighborhoods, serve as the backdrop for the story of Mary and Eddie Lynott, a brother and sister, who share troubled childhood memories.
