In the afternoon sun, a young girl sings about sea walls as she waits by the water. Long Water is a short, nonfiction video that tracks the social life of a catastrophe through the reverie of a young girl. By observing the mundane insouciance of child's play, it acts as a poetic comment on innocence and its loss. The film is a poignant glance at the intermingling of disaster with everyday life, a study in the fluid art of waiting, and an ephemeral testimony to the long way out of the water. Written by
