In 1975, James Benning and Bette Gordon drove from New York to Los Angeles, documenting the process in a series of brief, real-time tableaux that would become their joint film The United States of America. Radio news, advertisements or pop music soundtracks their road trip, while a diversity of scenery gradually passes their forward-facing camera.
