Mokum

Mokum is a film that explores the feeling of home experienced walking through the streets of Amsterdam during the filmmaker’s multiple trips to Holland. Utilizing 16mm and digital footage filmed over the past twenty years plus recently acquired, early 20th century, silent, b/w archival footage of Amsterdam, Mokum is response to that feeling of a home experienced in the present and perhaps, experienced by the filmmaker’s "“Crypto-Jewish” ancestors that found refuge in Amsterdam from the Spanish and Portuguese inquisitions.
