Bricks

"Bricks" is a documentary project in progress on a 35 mm film with which I am interested in making visible the day to day of people who leave their country and their culture to start a new life in a strange environment. That new life will be built with simple, everyday steps and actions that are mostly invisible or naturalized. A great change of life contains big questions, big goals, big dreams, big decisions. But every action in every day, even those mechanical or invisible, become bricks in the construction of that new life and new reality. The project is located at Roosevelt Ave Queens, where I am a resident. This place, in particular, shows people of the most diverse culture making a new life day by day, living with people from their own country and with others completely alien to their culture.
