JURASSIC is a 60 minute edit of Stephen Dwoskin’s 1974 16mm feature film Dyn Amo, focused on a group of performers onstage in a run-down strip club, filmed by Dwoskin when polio still made it possible for him to balance on crutches, holding the camera waist-high.  Duncan’s edited version emphasizes the particular attention Dwoskin gave to the performers’ faces, from cynical contempt to naïvely lost to sweaty staged hostility, as they put on a cheap show for a seriously jaded audience that remains invisible.
