With a quarter century’s perspective, the documentary IX XI takes a new look at 9/11. The film tells a dozen personal stories through deeply intimate conversations with New Yorkers from multiple facets of the city. Each vividly recounts their own story at the instant of being pulled together by a world historical event. These interviews are complimented by previously unseen archival material, and film footage that evokes interviewees’ internal states, and makes reference to the image bank we all draw from as a cinematic culture.
