With Archer Martin and Christine Berry
Music by Michael Pelz-Sherman
Two women are in search of a home in the Southern California
landscape. From the outside looking in, they see the single-family
home as the locus of the exclusion of the other. It is also
unaffordable. They both feel as if they are invisible citizens.
They witness how the architectural landscape imposed on the
California desert appears as a reversal of nature, where exclusive
living, gated communities and segregation go hand in hand. They
dream of escape.
The film is giving a voice to the landscape as well as exploring
off-screen presence and subjectivity. - BM
