Understated beauty and wisdom evoke the innate power of the feminine from the everyday to the mystical. Healing from past trauma and finding one’s identity and path are some of the themes explored in these shorts by women from around the world. Featuring the films JULIETA AND THE MOON, THE STARR SISTERS, MIZUKO, TAMALES Y TUNA, GUJIGA, and WHAT DOES THE WATER TASTE LIKE?
Runtime: 80 minutes
Prompted by intimate conversations and layered with found footage, Kasumu questions the production of identity as it relates to her own personal affiliations with language; moments of tenderness which remain interwoven with love and aching. Focusing on the geographic entanglements of “foreign” identity and the cultural mobility of knowledge throughout history - presented are non-linear narratives on the manners of displacement which are part of the generational immigrant experience from the cradle, across the Atlantic ocean and then finally to the grave.
