Echolocation

Nadia Shihab

Echolocation is a film of voices distant and nearby: the rain in Oakland, my grandmother's home in Baghdad, my aunts' voices in What's App, my daughter learning to count to 10, my brother playing the darbuka, the cicadas in Texas, the walls of my studio. As fragments resonate and accumulate, spaces of loss are subsumed into new landscapes and forms.
