Watch and read about Fire & Rain here. Looks to be part of Benning's first digitally shot film, Ruhr. (Check out the latest issue of Cinema Scope for an article written by Benning on why he switched from film to digital.)
From the notes: "Following last year’s Viennale trailer by Jean-Luc Godard, which turned out to be a small miracle of montage art, Benning’s work is an equally fascinating cinematic poem about time and motion – taking an industrial work process as an example."
