36 minute film by Ramona Córdova

M Y T H turned out to be a sort of auto-documentary edited in short film style. Shot during the summer 2020 during covid-19 pandemic in Vlorë Albania, i was trying to capture evidence of what i was living through here as an outsider in a small family oriented beach town. I felt i needed witness of the teasing and harassment i got in the street - the constant assumptions, scrutiny, judgement and passive aggressive reactions from the neighbors, felt from behind the walls of my home there. A constant pressure to adapt, express, and communicate openly my intentions of why i was there to begin with. I didn't manage to get the evidence i was looking for, but was able to capture some of the moments and interactions of my experience - enough to scratch draft a script and storyboard and produce a film around it.
