If You Lived Here You'd Be Home By Now

Diane Bonder
USA, experimental, 2001
15 mins. (16mm)

This film is about the divisiveness over land, the relationship of public and private space in small-town America, and the concept of home. Using documentary strategies, landscape stills are juxtaposed to stories "ripped from the headlines" of a small-town newspaper. The struggle over public space described in the stories reflects universal concepts of space, privacy and property ownership.
