    11/4/08
    Curated & Edited by Jeff Deutchman
    Produced by Jeff Deutchman & Natalie Difford
    Two weeks before the election of Barack Obama, filmmaker Jeff Deutchman asked his friends around the world to record their experiences of 11/4/08, a day that had become “historic” before it had even taken place. He collected footage from a combination of passionate amateurs and acclaimed independent filmmakers, including Henry Joost (CATFISH), Margaret Brown (THE ORDER OF MYTHS), Joe Swanberg (ALEXANDER THE LAST) and Benh Zeitlin (GLORY AT SEA). In this vérité documentary, what emerges is a portrait of how people choose to live through “history”: the celebration of a new future remaining entangled with the universally visible tensions of the past.

    Official Selection:
    SXSW Film Festival
    Sarasota Film Festival
