Using the linear narrative of a book and a train journey as an analogy for life, The Last Chapter captures the melancholy of the late years in a life that has not been fully realized. This work is based on a poem that communicates a sense of surprise that it has all passed so quickly.
"This film is part of an Octet of Film Poems inspired by the poetry of my late aunt, Alice Gonçalves Sousa. Written in narrative style, Alice's poetry reflects the values of mid-century America when she came of age, particularly the attitudes toward women. I use the poems as a script and a jumping off point to create something new through the synergy of text, sound and image."
The complete Film Poem Octet is also available to rent as a package with reduced rental price.
