Shared Resources follows the director’s parents over their 5-year-long bankruptcy, in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, their father’s career as a debt collector, Agent Orange, and the life-altering expense of the director’s college education. As the director and their family confront their widely differing understandings of the financial systems entangling them––reacting to and describing what the film shows–– they reckon with the risks of representing and living inside the bonds of debt, disability, and dependency.
Screenings and keynotes on location are open to the general public. Tickets can be booked via the Künstlerhaus Mousonturm and DFF – Deutsches Filminstitut & Filmmuseum websites.
