La Poussette
A film at the intersection of autoethnography and personal narrative, La Poussette is a video dance documentary that takes a creative look at the ontogenetics of parent-child relationships and how we learn to love from how we are loved by others.
Set to a soundtrack composed of interviews with my parents, the film shows me dancing on screen with Aminata Labor, and a stroller while we travel across the three major cities where I’ve lived in France. La Poussette abstractly narrates the connections between these cities and the romantic relationships I have had as an adult. Paired with the retellings of my parents’ own love story, La Poussette interrogates the ties between parents and emotional development in the lives of their children.
La Poussette is produced by the audio visual non-profit, Sortie 14.
