BOURN IN THE VALLEY

a film by Greta Koshenina

Bourn in the Valley is a poetic Southern Gothic short documentary that meditates on the transient nature of life using home videos spanning sixty years. I watch my grandmother, great-aunt, and father transition from childhood into adulthood, and I intertwine my personal story with universal truths: seasons change, love ebbs and flows, and life ends and begins.
