‘The Land of Coming Events’ (working title) critically observes the impact of Downtown Los Angeles’ current redevelopment plan on its communities and environments. This feature 16mm film examines the vocabulary of the metropolitan area undergoing a process of re-colonization by developers, pondering the challenges faced by the district’s long-term low-income residents amid this burden. Weaving together everyday life’s ordinary and the extraordinary, the governed and the ungovernable, this documentary is a complex meditation on the in-betweenness of the heart of California’s most populous city, the second-largest in the U.S., and a major global metropolis.
