Southern Refuge

Southern Refuge, currently in production, is an experimental observational film that portrays the daily lives of refugees in Nashville, TN, and their experiences of resettlement.  Shot on 16mm film and video, the final work will include a variety of filmic techniques – participatory filmmaking, observational and diaristic footage, black-and-white film stock and color video, non-sync sound design, and collage editing – in an effort to convey the complicated and multilayered social, emotional, mental, and sensory experiences of the men, women, and children living in Nashville as refugees.
