Liberty: an ephemeral statute
by Rebecca Jane Arthur
Synopsis
Stemming from a personal account of a search for liberation set in the US during the early 70s, « Liberty: an ephemeral statute » reflects upon post-68 desires for emancipation, emigration, and education through an impressionistic memoir and portrait of the filmmaker’s mother back home in Scotland today.
