Who Will Start Another Fire

By Way of Canarsie

14m

Directed by Emily Packer and Lesley Steele • 2020 • United States

A wandering portrait of an oft-neglected shoreline community, BY WAY OF CANARSIE imagines possible futures at odds with a peaceful present. Through brief encounters, observational mise-en-scène, and expressive use of analog film, we begin to understand this predominantly Black New York City neighborhood’s shared desires for recognition and respect.
