CAUTION WEIGHTLESS CONDITION
A short film that recontextualizes T.S. Eliot’s The Hollow Men as a parable of economic, racial and social disparities in modern culture and society. Set in Atlanta’s inner city and the now demolished Bowen Homes Housing Project, the film plays both as narrative and documentary guided by narration of T.S. Eliot’s poem by Marlon Brando from Apocalypse Now outtakes. The resulting cinematic form becomes a memory (the Bowen Housing project no longer exists) and portrait of people living on the periphery of society, simultaneously presenting despair and hope.
