The BLVD

Deborah Stratman

L'Alternativa Parallel / Deborah Stratman / The BLVD

Synopsis

This is a rambling, textured film about obsession: the street drag-racing scene on Chicago’s Near West Side. It is about the mythos of speed for its own sake, and it is about waiting. While waiting, The BLVD exposes community, inner-city landscapes and nomadic experiences of place. The film treats storytelling as a living medium for determining history.
