This afrosurreal portrait of home created from the director’s childhood memories traverses crosswalks, continents and consciousness. Ferenj reclaims Ethiopian-American mixed-race identity, redefines boundaries between memory and digital imaginary, and challenges reductive narratives of Africa in a fragmented point cloud dreamscape.
