Director: Craig Welch : Canada, 2004, 12min

A woman's voice leaves messages on her lover's answering machine. "Where are you?" she asks. On the screen, a small fish is snapped up by a big one. A bigger fish snaps up the sun. This visual poem, hand­rendered in black­and­white drawings, invites viewers to lose themselves in its singular beauty. Interior road map? Voyage into nostalgia? Tragedy in the making? There are no road signs here. The slow drift through surreal landscapes prompts the audience to write their own scenarios. Visuals and soundtrack collude in a disquieting partnership. Tension builds. Welcome to Kentucky evokes a planet unmoored. Where the waters are rising and the song of the universe goes unheard.
