Halifax Independent Filmmakers Festival screens El Mar, La Mar

The Halifax Independent Filmmakers Festival wraps with a screening of this documentary focusing on the US-Mexico border. As HIFF tells it, "The Harvard Sensory Ethnography lab is a household name in the world of modern experimental documentary filmmaking. Works produced by the lab are distinguished by their immersive aesthetics and keen attention to cultural detail. This influence is profoundly felt in El Mar La Mar, the latest film from lab alumnus J.P. Sniadecki and co-director Joshua Bonnetta." Shot on hand-processed 16mm film, the flick "challenge viewers to not just see and hear the desert, but to reckon with it."
