ADHERE (2021)
In mid 2020, there was a great whiplash between total isolation and mass gathering. The Covid-19 pandemic emptied our cities while the George Floyd protests refilled them. ADHERE captures this unprecedented moment in time from the perspective of omniscient observes—CCTV cameras—and sets the footage to a narration of Walt Whitman’s “Give Me the Splendid Silent Sun” and an original score. The film meditates on the line “still I adhere to my city,” showing how communities from around the world adapt in dire circumstances.
