Steve ReinkeUsing footage shot in 1938 and 1939 by Ivan Besse, who owned a movie theatre in Britton, South Dakota and used local portraits in a kind of local news-reel, Reinke builds a strange reverie, sometimes speaking as Besse, sometimes as St. Paul, with reference to Frank O’Hara, Odetta and Dusty Springfield....
