Almargen' is a meditation on three major transitions in my life; moving to a new country
in search of better opportunities, changing career paths from acting to filmmaking,
and experiencing a breakup in a long-term relationship. I filmed this piece in Santiago,
Chile in 2016, while also filming a short narrative piece ‘Beneath the Light’, in
an effort to gain perspective of the current immigration wave in Santiago. During
the editing process I decided to make my personal experience the voice of the film
in the form of written interventions or subtitles that accompany images taken by me
as a distant observant of a city I no longer inhabit.
