Film Description:
"[Jakarta, Rome, and New York Counterpoint are] three video 'portraits' of three cities. In each tape one architectural feature and one segment of the population are featured: New York's wooden water towers and old ladies; Rome's Vatican statues and nuns; Jakarta's walls and young men. Each tape and the movement of each city is set next to a piece of music; 'New York Counter point' by Steve Reich, 'Skyling' and 'In Paradisum, part 4' by Michael J. Baker (Rome), and 'Music for Mallet Instruments' by Steve Reich (Jakarta). The three tapes are independent of each other and can be seen separately."
