⇥ REGIONAL PREMIERE
An unfinished film is passed along from one friend to another. The dialogue between them is a journey crossed by the swarming of the Great Eastern Brood X of periodical cicadas that prophetically emerge every 17 years in the USA, invoking a reflection of a post-pandemic present and our shared futures. Eastern Anthems is a road movie composed of a chorus of voices (both human and non-human), the warnings of history, the power of nature and rebirth.
