Eastern Anthems
78min | feature experimental documentary | 2024
An unfinished film is passed along from one friend to another. The dialog between them is a journey crossed by the swarming of the Great Eastern Brood X of periodical cicadas that prophetically emerge every 17 years in the United States, invoking a reflection of a post-pandemic present and our shared futures.
A road movie composed of a chorus of voices (both human and non-human), the warnings of history, the power of nature and rebirth.
Premiered at Camden International Film Festival 2024.
