READINGS AT THE FIELD
Since 2003, Magnetic Field has turned one Sunday of each month into a showcase for the best writers in the city to read from their work. In an effort to broaden the spectrum, we've added independent directors to the roster to screen shorts and features you'd be hard pressed to see anywhere else. Vital creative works are made throughout the five boroughs, and we're determined to track down and present the finest of them.

VIEWINGS AT THE FIELD
Independent filmmaker Sara Driver screens her 1986 work, *Sleepwalk*, a feature detailing the strange, surreal events that occur with increasing
intensity as Nicole (Suzanne Fletcher) translates an antique Chinese manuscript. Featuring one of Steve Buscemi's first film roles, actor Ann
Magnuson, and cinematogrophy by director Jim Jarmusch, Sleepwalk has been described as "subtle and magical," "lyrical" with the "illogic sense of a dream," and stands as a great -- and underrecognized -- example of New York
City indie film. (Runtime: 78 minutes)
