Nomads

Tom Kalin | USA | 1993 | 4' |

| IFFR 1994

Two travelogues inspired by literary quotes; one from Jane Bowles and the other from Truman Capote. Nomads is a compelling depiction of the point of view of the traveller. Darling Child borrows from Capote for instance: ‘But we are alone, darling child, terribly, isolated each from the other; so fierce is the world’s ridicule we cannot speak or show our tenderness.’
