Nomotopowell

Nomotopowell is a mythical documentary travelogue exploring the lost settlements of a little known village in Florida, where the ghosts of two pivotal figures in American history loom large. One a Confederate assassin, the other a Seminole warrior, their lives and deaths contain numerous coincidences and parallels. Combining landscape tableaux, archival texts, and a cast of abstracted voices, Nomotopowell operates on contemplation, uncertainty, and vagary. The film summons the spirits that haunt a shape-shifting territory, reflecting a violent national residue without ever leaving the village.
