CONTENT WARNING:
A poetic exploration of poet Elizabeth Bishop’s life, her homes, and her relationships, blending historical memory with artistry.
This film is presented in English with English subtitles.
WELCOME TO THIS HOUSE, a feature documentary film on the homes and loves of poet Elizabeth Bishop, is about life in the shadows, and the anxiety of art making without full lesbian disclosure. Hammer filmed in Bishop’s best loved homes in the U.S., Canada, and Brazil, believing that buildings and landscapes bear cultural memories. Interviews with poets, friends, and scholars provide missing documents of numerous female lovers. Bishop’s intimate poems and the creative music composition by Joan La Barbara bring the poet into our lives with new facts and unexpected details
