Hollow Tree

Tue, Sep 10, 2024    4:30pm

The Coastal Resilience Network at the Columbia Climate School, GSAPP Urban Design, and The Climate Museum present HOLLOW TREE, a film by Kira Akerman featuring Mekenzie Fanguy, Tanielma Da Costa, Annabelle Pavy.

Hollow Tree is a 73-minute documentary following three teenage girls in Louisiana as they confront the impacts of the climate crisis on their sinking homeland. Directed by Kira Akerman and produced by Monique Walton and Chachi Hauser, the film brings together Mekenzie Fanguy, a member of the United Houma Nation; Annabelle Pavy, from a predominantly white community skeptical of climate change; and Tanielma Da Costa, an immigrant from Angola. As they explore different sites along the Mississippi River, they engage with engineers, activists, and Indigenous leaders, gaining new perspectives on their surroundings and their shared history of slavery, Indigenous dispossession, and colonization. Through their journey, the girls begin to envision Louisiana’s future and their role in shaping it for the better.
