| | | “Things are not always what they appear to be”, says Cuban American Photographer Abelardo Morell. “Shadow of the House” is an intimate portrayal of how one man’s personal struggle with the themes of loss, exile and self-determination reflects the ways in which we all work to construct narratives that unite the past with the present and memory with desire. Morell’s artistic process is the central topic of the film. The film makes public the often unglamorous work that precedes the beautiful photographs- the laborious process of finding locations and setting up rooms and the frustration of failed images. Working alone, Allie Humenuk filmed Morell and his family for over 7 years both at home and abroad. During the filming, Morell returns to Cuba for the first time since his escape in 1962. This decision, and the intense anger and fear it arouses in his family, forces him to wrestle with the sense of identity, family allegiance and cultural politics.
