Leche
NEW DOCS
A dreamlike evocation of a dairy farm in Mexico, Leche pushes the outermost boundaries of the documentary form. Shot in 16mm black and white, with an extravagantly textured film surface (Uman developed her film in buckets), the film wittily plays with sync, narration, and titles. Uman creates a film that’s as much a document of a timeless place and the people who work there as it is an experimental meditation on the labor and magic of crafting things by hand.
