Alan Abrahams, Transitions, is a film in eight parts that offer a glimpse beneath the surface of the everyday world. Shot in cinematic widescreen and enhanced through cross-processed imagery, each film is paired with a bespoke, emotionally resonant soundtrack, composed to complement the visual journey. To deepen the experience, Alan invited local poets and writers to respond to the films and music, capturing their reflections, emotions, and insights. Their spoken word performances were then woven into the soundtracks, creating a layered, evocative fusion of sight, sound, and spoken thought.
