Colony
2007 · 35 min
A quiet, reflective documentary that drifts through memory and place, asking you to sit with the echoes of a vanished corporate world.
- Tagline
- Can paternalism survive a globalised economy?
- Overview
- This film explores multinational shoe company Bata’s impact on individual lives and their surroundings. The film’s aesthetic, shifting from site to site and shot to shot, offers pockets as a visual version of the bubble that was the Bata colony itself. The characters are all connected to that past. They guide the viewers through the merging of past and present in memory. The film’s colouration also evokes this mixture.
