Twilight City

Directed by Reece Auguiste

With Amanda Symonds, Homi Bhaba, Andy Coupland, Paul Gilroy and Savriti Hensman

A fictional letter from a daughter, Olivia, to her mother in Dominica is the narrative thread connecting interviews from (predominantly) black and Asian cultural critics, historians and journalists. The choice of occupation for the daughter, a researcher, perhaps strains the narrative conceit too far. Nevertheless, for an avowedly political documentary the result is absorbing.
