Misleading Innocence (tracing what a bridge can do)
The film Misleading Innocence (2014), conceived of by Francesco Garutti and directed by Shahab Mihandoust, explores the history and politics of Long Island parkways by interviewing four scholars who, in the 1980s and 1990s, debated possible interpretations of the case: Bernward Joerges, Bruno Latour, Langdon Winner, and Steve Woolgar. The film alludes to rather than explains; it interweaves reportage with the abstraction of theories, mixes the deafening sound of automobiles with the singing of the birds along the parkways of Long Island that are now almost one hundred years old.
This film was made available in its entirety on 31 August 2020. See here for more information about this project.
