Landscapes of Longing

| #11 Bonding Signs
(BALi, KulturBahnhof Kassel)

Three women come together. Memories of their family’s migration from India to the USA are evoked through photos and images, raising questions about identity, language, and integration, as well as the cultural imprint of being Sinti. What is home for them today? The film weaves together amorphous dreams, memories, sounds, and fragments of the subconscious to make tangible the waves of dissonance that have been passed down through generations. An experimental collaborative work about identity, migration, and intergenerational femininity.
