Dreaming Rivers
Martina Attille, 1988, UK, 16mm, 30'
In Martina Attille’s own words Dreaming Rivers “illustrates the spirit of modern families touched by the experience of migration.” A Sankofa film production, the film evocatively weaves together the ambition-fuelled dreams and memories of Caribbean-born Miss T. and her family. As an allegory of migration, Dreaming Rivers was inspired by several key moments marking the dynamism and activity of the UK’s Black Arts Movement during the 1980s.
