Farewell

A quiet, poetic drift through a changing neighborhood, like a whispered goodbye to a place that never stays still.

Directed by

Alexandra Cuesta

Overview

Shot in Boyle Heights in East Los Angeles, this transitory neighborhood resonates with the poetry of local resident Mapkaulu Roger Nduku. Verses about endings, looking and passing through open up the space projected. A string of tableaus gather a portrait of place and compose a goodbye letter to an ephemeral home.
