The film ‘Al Motor City’ had its world premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival. It is a silent work written and directed by Trey Edward Shults. The movie uses an orchestral score to tell stories about a gritty car factory workplace. There are no spoken lines, as actors convey themselves through gestures and noises. A romantic subplot centres on a couple working on the assembly line. The film mixes surreal visuals with heavy industrial noise and sweeping symphonic music. Some critics compare its style to silent-era expressionist cinema.
