Su Friedrich 2022 USA Documentary color 60min DCP
Observing her world over a six-year period, choice morsels of documentary footage from the neighborhood of Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn, are augmented with wry observations and witty on-screen text in this casual, engrossing portrait of daily life. FRIEDRICH thought that using her camera to "live in the moment" would give her access to seeing the wonders of the world, but instead it meant she saw exactly what was in front of her, be it devastating or uplifting.
