Flushing Meadows (film)
Flushing Meadows (1965) is an American short film by Joseph Cornell with Larry Jordan. [1] The film is 8 minutes long, in color, 16mm, and silent. [2]
The film is an ode to the memory of Joyce Hunter, a Queens waitress Cornell met in 1962. [3] Cornell apparently had an infatuation with Hunter even though she was found to have stolen items and attempted to fence them; Cornell never pressed charges against her.
Hunter was murdered in December 1964.[4] The film was produced after her death and is largely a series of scenes from Flushing Cemetery, where Hunter was buried.[5]
The film was first shown publicly at the Gramercy Theatre in New York City, on December 22, 2003.[citation needed] The short aired twice at the 2004 Toronto International Film Festival, in commemoration of the centennial of Cornell's birth.[citation needed]
