Following the premise from his newest film, “Be Kind Rewind,” filmmaker Michel Gondry’s exhibition at this always-interesting SoHo art space gives visitors a chance to create their own renditions of films,  which will then be available for screening and rental. The auteur says that with this interactive exhibit he is  “hoping to create a network of creativity and communication that is guaranteed to be free and independent from any commercial institution.” Just like in the movie!
