Description
STONE STREET documents the life and experiences of a Trinidadian diaspora family and
their enduring connection to the long standing family home in Port of Spain. Through
the intersecting journeys of this extended and extensive family, the filmmaker explores
themes of home, belonging and identity in a life defined by the fragmentary nature
of a migratory Caribbean culture. This experimental documentary combines a lyrical
first person voice with a family archive of home made audio visual artifacts, interviews
and events. As the documentary explores the fragmentary nature of Caribbean identity,
it simultaneously celebrates the fragments of domestic memorializing found in home
movies, videos and photographs. STONE STREET uses these various forms to evoke the
experience of a complex and diverse Caribbean and Caribbean diaspora identity. #UToledoStoneStreetScreening
