From Here to There
De Aquí a Allá
From Here to There / De Aquí a Allá (1998)
Written, Produced and Directed by María Teresa Rodríguez
Edited by John Douglas White and Michael O’Reilly
"FROM HERE TO THERE is a lyrical quest for stories and answers provoked by the premature loss of the director's father. The video searches to reveal a father's untold past and explores the Colombian, Irish and American roots of the family using audiotaped conversations, verite´ footage, home movies, and interviews with family members. The result is a powerful evocation of caring, loss and bereavement and the difficulty of ever fully knowing even those closest to us."
— Sally Berger, Assistant Curator, Department of Film and Video, The Museum of Modern Art, New York
"......a heartbreakingly beautiful evocation of culture clash and familial politics. She revealed to me possibilities in documentary that I had not quite realized before."
— Jerry Johnson, Board of Directors, Austin Film Society, Texas
