Shoe Leather

Shoe Leather (2019), was created in response to Margaret Tait’s film My Room. Via Ancona 21 (1951) and is shot over three days on Via Ancona and the surrounding area in Rome, June 2019. Taking the inverse approach to Tait’s intimate portrait of personal space, Shoe Leather encompasses the idea of filming as an act of espionage, of looking onto from the outside. Shoe Leather; is a term used in film to describe parts of a film that precede other scenes and try to make sense of the transitions between them. These sequences usually establish necessary continuities, a sense of place, or an understanding of how characters arrive at their destinations.
