Personal works made with delicacy and care, the eight films in Sometimes I Imagine You a Little Lonely find their makers reckoning with familial relationships across various histories of migration and diasporic longing.

Coconut details the director's trip to his mother's homeland of Jamaica to bury his grandmother, who was also his caretaker. Made from original Super 8mm footage filmed in Jamaica, as well as found footage, Coconut is a public declaration of love for Gladys Austin.

CANTO ERRANTE

The filmmaker's grandfather (whom she never met) worked as a longshoreman on the Brooklyn waterfront for 37 years. This film is an attempt to measure closeness despite temporal distance.

PROXIMITY STUDY (SIGHT LINES)

Raiz ("Roots" in Papiamento, the island language of Aruba, Curacao and Bonaire), is created from historical archives and the home movies of an Aruban family, who had to leave the island in search of work in the 1980s. The film is made by their son, raised as a third-culture child, reflecting on the ideas of belonging and home through the long-distance calls with his family.

RAIZ

Retrospection of a Home (Once Upon a Time…) is a personal essay-film exploration into the collective memory of a Venezuelan family in exile, and the home they had to leave behind years ago.

RETROSPECTION OF A HOME (ONCE UPON A TIME...)

In Soon Come Back, Nande Walters explores memory, or lack thereof, during a trip to visit her grandparents in Kingston, Jamaica. As one of the first US-born children in her family, she reflects on occasional visits to the island through digitizing family photos and videotapes. From her father’s childhood home in Kingston to her grandmother’s childhood home in the mountains of Negril, the filmmaker follows their migrations of leaving home as young adults, using the camera to bridge 22 years of oceanic distance between her, her grandmother, and her ancestral land.

SOON COME BACK

Soon Come Back is a poetic documentary about migration’s effect on Nande's relationships to “home” in Jamaica and the US, and her feelings of alienation being a child of the diaspora.
