Plot Summary:Reframing our current political moment in intimate terms, Gibson's urgent snapshot of social calamities doubles as a document of practical resistance. Pauline Oliveros' music and the words of poets CAConrad and Eileen Myles imbue images of street riots and refugee migration with graceful complexity.
By turns raucous and reserved, I Hope I'm Loud When I'm Dead ponders the future of a world in flux. Written as a love letter to Gibson’s daughter, the film features readings by radical poets CAConrad and Eileen Myles, excerpts from work by Audre Lorde and Adrienne Rich, and music by Pauline Oliveiros.
