Natalie Melas and Tao DuFour discuss their film Possible Landscapes (directed by Kannan Arunasalam, produced and conceptualized by Tao DuFour and Natalie Melas). Possible Landscapes is the outcome of the team research project, “Possible Landscapes: Documenting Environmental Experience in Trinidad and Tobago." The aim was to develop methods of field research and representation in documentary film that foreground intergenerational lived experience of landscapes and environments in the Caribbean islands of Trinidad and Tobago, and to query the formation of environmental and climate imaginaries.
