IAH: A Remembrance

Constructed around ideas based on Jamaican Rastafari music and philosophy, IAH, A Remembrance, tells the story of a mother who immigrated to a foreign country to better provide for her children. The experience of reuniting with my mother and observing the ways she navigated the new country are central to the film. IAH is a poetic, essay style, experimental work in the tradition of domestic ethnographic filmmaking. I consider the way she lived alongside the philosophy of the Rastafari movement, and, also as a way of thinking about art making, freedom and Black life.
