SLOW REVOLUTION / U.S.A. / LOUISIANA PREMIERE

A globe-trotting cameraman sends letters, postcards and videos from his more than 38 years of travel to his former colleague and lover. She shares them with us in an intimate voice-over, as he reflects on his experiences and reframes them for a present in which democratic instability, climate catastrophe, runaway technology and a global pandemic threaten the future of the planet. Despite a sense of hopelessness, everywhere he “sees images for a film I can make.” His restless need to document humanity is his own personal form of resistance.

Director's Statement:

All my films begin with the power of the image. Narrative, meaning, impact, all emerge organically from images. Slow Revolution is not an agenda-driven, social justice film. It is intended as a fever dream, an act of contemplative curation of recent history. As the True/False film festival screening committee said, it is "a captivating insight into profound philosophical questions.”
