Is My Living In Vain [short film]
Synopsis
The Black church is explored as a site of personal and political belonging through portraits of communities across west Philadelphia and southeast London. Director Ufuoma Essi eschews traditional documentary structure, providing a more lived-in experience of these places and the communities that cherish them.
This film screens as part of the Shorts 8: Architecture – Versions of Home program.
