Of Memory & Los Sures

An animated oral history of a traditionally Puerto Rican neighborhood in South Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Voices of longtime residents of Los Sures ("the South Streets") are juxtaposed with present-day images and archival documents suggesting a recently disappearing past. The film fluidly weaves fragments of childhood nostalgia and harsh realities of the past; unique glimpses into collective memory of a place undergoing rapid changes.

Laurie co-directed, shot, animated, edited with radio producer Andrew Parson, as part of collaborative transmedia documentary LIVING LOS SURES. 

Screened at DOC NYC, Rincon International Film Festival, PS1 MoMA
