Description
A screening of Shared Resources (Jordan Lord, 2021) and conversation with Jordan Lord and Pooja Rangan hosted by the Centre for Screen Cultures
Made over five years, Shared Resources depicts the filmmaker’s family after they declare bankruptcy due to debt accrued from the loss of their home in Hurricane Katrina and the cost of Lord’s college education. Use of captioning and visual description act both as points of access and autonomy for their subjects: Jordan Lord asks their family, their filmmaking community and us, the film’s audiences – what does it mean to owe each other everything?
Their conversation expanded on the film’s engagement with issues of access, disability and documentary, building on previous events run by the Centre which have explored the creative use of sound, and our current focus on sound and the body.
