Of This Place

OF THIS PLACE gathers stories of belonging and the ways people root themselves in communities, traditions, and identities that shape how they move through the world. Across neighborhoods, reunions, fandom, and diasporic memory, these films explore what it means to claim a place—whether inherited, chosen, or remade. A teenager wrestles with feeling out of step, aging naval officers sustain bonds forged through exile, a devoted sports fan fights to preserve a lifetime of memory, and Ethiopian women trace histories of migration and home. Together, these works ask how place lives within us—and how we leave ourselves behind in the places we call home.
