I am currently Executive Producing Farewell My Paradise, a film by Gabri Christa.
Farewell My Paradise marks the third installation in the series Another Building. This project tells the story of the relationship between a people and a place through the textural interplay of film, music, and choreography. It is set in a historic synagogue in Paramaribo, Suriname and in the ruins of the first settlement of Amazon Jews, known as Joden Savanne.
Farewell My Paradise portrays the story of a young Creole Jewish woman Chaya as the as she prepares to leave the country to study abroad and is unlikely to return. Set in Suriname, South America, her elders, while encouraging the further growth of the girl, struggle with their disappointment over yet another loss to their very small and dwindling community. The story deals with conflict between generations, tradition and modernity, small versus global community.
