The United States of America is an upcoming experimental documentary film directed by American independent filmmaker James Benning. An updating of the 1975 film with the same title co-made with Bette Gordon, the film features meditative and reflective shots of the country's 50 states, as well as Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia.[1]
The United States of America is scheduled to premiere at the 72nd Berlin International Film Festival in 2022.[2]
Synopsis[edit]
"Both elegiac and lovingly rendered, critical and celebratory, THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA is Benning's paean to the ideals and hard truths of the American cultural landscape. Emerging from the era of COVID-19 and its social restrictions, Benning's USA (an updating of the 1975 film with the same title co-made with Bette Gordon) portrays the country's 50 states, plus Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia, as sites that exist in the imagination as well as through representational sounds and images. But while THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA is meditative and reflective in ways that are characteristic of Benning's earlier work, this is a landscape that is haunted by its past, evidence of which can be seen, heard and felt throughout the film."[1]
