Jamaica tapes (2019) dir. Anna Pollack
Mischievous and introspective in turns, Anna Pollacks lofi travelogue shot while visiting family in Jamaica showcases the distinctive camerawork and playful editing style of an emerging talent in NYC independent film. Loosely divided into four vignettes, its many standout moments include an encounter with an absurd wouldbe rasta and a charming game of celebrity hotornot. Following screenings in group shows at New Yorks Entrance, Tanya Bonakdar and KimberlyKlark galleries, it screens now in its online premiere. I think the process came a bit later on, once I received my photos back. I knew that I did not want all the footage to exist as is. I wanted to be able to revisit it and have it be accessible to myself. I didnt want it to fade forever and gather dust, and so began to organize it and group it by certain people and places, then I just blended it all my favorite snippets, characters, stills, sound bites.
