Made in the silent-era avant garde tradition of the City Symphony documentary, this film updates and challenges the conventions of the 'city' symphony by taking as its subject Williamsburg, Virginia and the diversity of people who make up its community. The film depicts the contradictions and contrasts that are central to the this historic place as it exists today as a town of students, tourists, retirees, families, and workers. Its focus on the range of residents and tourists who make up the city ultimately challenges the mechanical focus of the classical city symphony.
