Live From the Clouds
Directed by:
Mackie Mallison
Live From the Clouds immerses the viewer in the intimate memories and imaginations of four women in the director's Japanese-American family. Collage-like CG meshes with oral history, and poetry accents 16mm footage of the local bingo hall and staged sequences in an Asian grocery store, where everyday anxieties of shopping, paying the bills, and flying are ruptured by dreams of financial freedom and homecoming.
