Material Detail

Creative Time Reports has started an ongoing participatory documentary focusing on those residents of the north Atlantic coast who continue to be displaced in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. The project "... is building a community-generated narrative of the storm and its aftermath that seeks to build a more just and sustainable future. Sandy Storyline features audio, video, photography and text stories—contributed by residents and professional and citizen journalists–that are shared through an immersive web documentary and interactive exhibitions. Winner of the first-ever Transmedia Award at the Tribeca Film Festival, Sandy Storyline aims to bring the human impact of the storm into the national conversation about economic inequality, climate change, infrastructure development and the future of coastal cities in America. Sandy Storyline emerged from the belief that this is a moment so big that it requires a new kind of documentary storytelling: a project designed to foster civic dialogue so communities can decide, from the ground up, their own futures."
