An accomplished
debut feature by award winning documentary filmmaker David Grubin in which a young Russian immigrant who happens to be a classically
trained violinist preparing for an all - important
debut recital at Julliard, struggles to free himself from the expectations of his charming but domineering father, while
falling for the lovely club and street performer, played by composer - musician - writer Nellie McKay.
Training Setting follows the
debut of a collaboration between Maria Park and Branden Hookway at Cornell University in
Fall 2017 that presented work using a diagrammatic language of flight cockpits and table settings to investigate the social and control protocols that underlie contemporary interfaces.
