“65th and Columbus” is a brief mood piece centered on the fountain outside Lincoln Center in Manhattan. The piece employs oblique, unusual angles and an attention to reflection and surfaces, and well as patterns in the fountain’s water, before stepping back to reveal the entire structure, backlighting a ballet dancer posing for a camera.
The Lincoln Center Fountain is a classic New York City landmark and one of the most recognizable features of the center, and is a popular gathering place for visitors and locals alike, especially on warm summer evenings like the one on which this film was shot. The fountain was designed by the American architect Philip Johnson and was completed in 1965. It is a large, circular structure that sits in the center of the center’s main plaza, surrounded by a series of wide, concrete steps. The fountain is made up of a series of concentric rings that spray high into the air, creating a shimmering curtain of water. It is famous for its dynamic, choreographed water displays, which are often set to music and synchronized with lighting effects. The displays are performed several times a day and are a popular attraction for visitors to the center.
