A Thousand Years Ago | 2022 | 19:48
An imaginary look back at the present and distant past from the point of view of the year 2049. The return of an exile to Los Angeles decades after social and environmental collapse. He recreates the memories of his past (our present), and imagines the lives of those who inhabited his old apartment when he was gone. His sense of displacement elicits a meditation on place, memory and dream.
A Thousand Years Ago is a fictional film essay shot in both 16mm and digital formats. It incorporates elements of landscape film, minimalist performance, and narration to shape its narrative.
