A silent meditative piece filmed over a three-year period, Peter Goldman’s Echoes of
Silence explores life from the depth of 1960s New York, capturing a handful of
acquaintances as they wander through Greenwich Village, the Met, or down dark alleys
and into basement beds. Only in his mid-twenties when he shot Echoes, Goldman
displays the despair of youth as it is magnified by a city ill-at-ease. “Echoes of
Silence is a world of lonely nightmares,” said Goldman. The film is divided into a
haunted string of scenes introduced by hand-lettered title cards, the only dialogue
available beyond gesture and glance—a silent film with a soundtrack drawn from
Goldman's record collection including music of Charles Mingus, Pete Seeger, Igor
Stravinsky, and Sergei Prokofiev. The construction of elegies to NYC and the
characters we encounter—a young artist looking for love, the crowds in the
streets—describe a certain frustration of existence that populated the city during
the social boil of the 1960s. Like other urban-focused film essays, this
documentation and reflection on the politics of everyday life are unpacked to reveal
a larger political meaning. And in Goldman’s work, this surfaces as a graceful yet
grainy silent black-and-white image of futility.
