November 22, 1963. A day that America and the world will never forget. Four decades later, as the rest of Dallas makes strides as a 21st century city, the spot where President Kennedy was shockingly assassinated remains eerily and forever frozen in time. Somewhere between the documentary and experimental short categories, THE SPOT impressionistically and voyeuristically exposes the strange happenings taking place every day around Dealey Plaza (Dallas, Texas) - a prosaic site, made significant by the event that has come to define it.
