Border Dweller Love
Synopsis
A poetic animated short following the narrative of a family enduring separation on both sides of a border. Through stop-motion animation and poetry, the film uses land-based artifacts to reflect the desert and the people who withstand harsh distances through rooted traditions of mobility. Each animated image evokes the earth’s imposed complicity in the severance of border-dwelling families, yet also its role in the methods of care and closeness that sustain the rebellion inherent in loving across borders.
