Peter Schilling [2]Director Aaron Katz’s [3] Quiet City [4] is part of the ever-growing “mumblecore” movement in indie film, a genre that favors disaffected youth who struggle to pay the bills. These films defy summary and star nonprofessional actors who improvise most of their dialogue, or, well, mumbles. In Quiet City, a girl gets lost in Brooklyn and meets a young man and together they wander through the sleeping borough, saying almost nothing. Quiet City places demands on the viewers’ attention—a sideways glance, a puff on a cigarette have as much gravity as ten minutes of dialogue in a conventional film. On September 28 and 30, Katz and lead actress Erin Fisher appear to discuss the film.
