'This project takes its impulse from Franz Kafka’s fragmented, fanciful, and fantastic Amerika (the man who disappeared), published posthumously in 1927. The script investigates the application of auto/biographical and screen memoir research to the construction of multiplatform narratives collating material collected from the 1950s to the present day drawn from my family’s travels in Zambia. This is a collaborative project that includes archival family and public footage, photographs, magazines, audio and visual interviews. This output takes the form of ‘screenplay as work of art’, as screen memoir, underpinned by themes of home, place, memory and migration. ' (Authors abstract)
