TOWN OF STRANGERS

82mins ‧ HDV ‧ Ireland

See the world in one small Irish town. 

There are only two stories: a person goes on a journey or a stranger comes to town. 

Town of Strangers is a 'hybrid' feature film using auditions, observational documentary and magical realist dream scenes. 

It is a documentary of the imagination, with many scenes transcending the genres of documentary and fiction, going deep into the experience of migration and home through cinematic methods.
