Will Life Imitate Art?
Hidden in Plain Site
Also known as
" A Reynah in Exile"
is a symbolic piece of work set to music that tells
a tale about freedom from oppression.
"Hidden in Plain Site" is a documentary that uses symbolism, music, and a cute storyline to
to reveal the truth about systemic oppression to one of the most vulnerable and marginalized class of citizens in the US today.
The director of the film chose symbolism, storytelling, and cinema as the vehicle to share
this
true story for the documentary.
The filmmakers vision was to compel and intrigue audiences to view the film who might be indifferent to this topic so they would be interested to find out more about the main character and see for themselves the first hand accounting of the most vulnerable populations in America.
The directors hope is that after you view the film the audience be astute enough to hear and see the cries of the most vulnerable in a different light by looking behind the imagery and artistry of the film.
My dream is that the viewer will find it in their heart to do what is just and right to support Reynah and her brothers and sisters who are still suffering in plain site by supporting laws and legislation that will be significant and impactful enough to really make a difference to these men and women to have a better quality of life.
Or will my greatest fear as an artist be actualized and "Reynah" my protagonist in the film
become the only person that will make it out of exile to freedom.
Therefore making my film a fictional piece of work
and not a documentary
anymore?
The photos that are used in the film where all taken in real time to document the inequities and inequalities of the broken mental health system and what happens to the innocent when there is no safety net or proper resources to support them and aid them out of their suffering.
The director of the film is also the main character in the movie and this is her real life account of what happened to her. The filmmaker used her artistic sensibilities as a way to document what was happening during this time of "Exile" and made the film to document the events of her struggles and pain.
The film was a way keep a record of her real life experience and was used in the film as a visual diary of what she was going through in real time just in case she did not make it out of her own personal struggles and challenges being a member of this class of citizens who are systemically oppressed like the protagonist in the film.
The filmmaker of "Hidden in Plain Site" (Also known as A Reynah in Exile) is also the director, editor, writer, and star of the film. Her name is Hadassah Chavivah Zeltzer a.k.a Kimmie Zeltzer and she is an underrepresented artist with a documented mental health disability.
Being an artist she edited each photo to give it the ethereal affect you see in the final cut of the movie. The music and storyline were also added as a way to attract mainstream audiences to view the film. Beneath the surface of the cute story the film has layers of meaning and depth that were strategically hidden in the visual pictures as well as the storyline to promote dialogue and interest for the viewers and audience members.
