The Long Valley

Does dreaming allow us to imagine a better future, or prevent us from living our current lives? Shot in tableaus that sit in the space between film and still photography, The Long Valley documents the land and the people who work it. Central and South American immigrants living in the Salinas Valley share divergent perspectives on the passage of time, acceptance of reality and finding the space to dream. Rather than presenting definitive answers, the audience is given time and space to meditate on their own interpretations.
