  5. Lordville

    DOCUMENTARY / USA / 2014 / Documentary / 657 mins
    Asking what it means to own land, acclaimed director of HISTORY AND MEMORY (SFIAAFF ’91) and STRAWBERRY FIELDS (SFIAAFF ‘97) reins in stories of the everyday — powerful floods, ancestral secrets and colonial violence — to expose traces of a town’s history. The cinematic probing compels us to ponder our relationship to the land.
