n e i g h b o r i n g | t o w n s is Heather Theresa Clark’s collaborative multi-channel video installation about borders, the restriction of movement, and community life on both a local and global scale that takes place on the border of two rural towns separated by the US/Canada border: Derby Line, Vermont and Stanstead, Quebec.  The narrative of n e i g h b o r i n g | t o w n s takes place in and around a library that is uniquely situated in both the US and Canada. The library is one of the few places in the US where those living with visas that do not allow return-entry can reunite with family members who cannot enter the US because they are citizens of countries on the travel ban list.   n e i g h b o r i n g | t o w n s combines an interview with an Iranian man whose family has traveled across the globe to reunite at this library, video documentation of the annual Vermont Sacred Harp Shape Note Sing, hosted by Derby Line’s bi-national singing group,  footage of the Tomifobia River, which surges across the US/Canada border, and two skiers traversing the two towns to meet outside the library at the border. Through primal singing, ethereal snow, interpretive movement and personal testimonials, n e i g h b o r i n g | t o w n s tells the story of human resilience in the face of adversity and how borders cannot thwart love.

n e i g h b o r i n g | t o w n s is by Heather Theresa Clark and Pauline Jennings.  Sean Clute composed the sound, Elizabeth Rossano was the cinematographer, and choreography was created and performed by Pauline Jennings in collaboration with Joshua Lacourse.  All members of the artistic team currently live in Vermont.
