Within Reach
Phyllis Katrapani
What do we bring with us from our homeland that remains in our possession? What do we discard? What do we pass on? Language, memories, objects that bear witness to past lives and often, to other cultures… What are the links between here and there, then and now, distance and proximity? An intimate journey in seven chapters, WITHIN REACH explores, through recollections, conversations and experiences, the questions of intimacy in art and the documentary filmmaker’s standpoint.
