In Order Not to Be Here

In Order Not to Be Here  (Deborah Stratman)
L'Alternativa Parallel / Deborah Stratman / In Order Not to Be Here

Synopsis

An uncompromising look at the ways privacy, safety, convenience and surveillance determine our environment. Shot entirely at night, the film confronts the hermetic nature of white-collar communities, dissecting the fear behind contemporary suburban design. By examining evacuated suburban and corporate landscapes, the film reveals a peculiarly 21st century hollowness—an emptiness born of our collective faith in safety and technology. This is a new genre of horror movie, attempting suburban locations as states of mind.
