AT 22 Stone Street in Port of Spain, Trinidad, stands a house, home to the Cherrie family for over 60 years. This absorbing film is an autobiographical portrait of the Cherrie family and its branches in the US, UK and Canada. Mixing home-movie footage, photographs, musical recordings and interviews with a lyrical first-person narration, Stone Street moves beyond a simple record of family life to become a layered exploration of identity, history, race, place and belonging.
Elspeth kydd’s experimental documentary films have screened at festivals internationally and on public television in the US. She has taught film studies and documentary practice at universities worldwide and is the author of The Critical Practice of Film. Stone Street premiered at Trinidad+Tobago Film/13 Festival, 2012

and followed by a conversation with the director on Skype.
