Dear One
Nora Jane Long
Official Selection
𖤘 Short: Documentary, Experimental
Dear One is a poetic documentary unfolding in the form of a typed love letter written line by line in tandem with plants, animals and terrain. The piece invites viewers into an open-ended meditation on intimacy, exploitation and return. Through its rhythmic structure and meditative pacing, Dear One asks viewers to slow down, listen closely, and consider what it means to return to a relationship somehow marked by loss, neglect or disconnection.
Long is an Emmy-nominated filmmaker, photographer, and multimedia artist whose work weaves together cinema, writing and visual art; driven by a deep fascination with nature, symbolism and memory.
