| dc.description.abstract | The Places We Lived uses JP Marchants large archive of his parents' Super8 and digital home movies from the mid-1970s to late 1990s to grapple with the hopes, dreams, and disappointments of two South American immigrants who moved to Montreal in the wake of the excitement and optimism generated by Expo 67. This story focuses on his father, Jose ("Pepe"), whose life in Canada followed four hardscrabble decades in Chile. Like his Argentinean-born mother, Pepe's mobile life was characterized by neither chain migration nor lasting social ties with members of his ethnic group. This film is also a story about class, politics, and the complicated histories of migration and exile. | |
