Film & Documentary In Nadav Assor and Tirtza Even’s film Chronicle of a Fall, on immigrant cultural workers in the US, there is no singular, stable view of anything. | Lori Waxman Chronicle of a Fall is an immersive, feature-length video installation by Nadav Assor and Tirtza Even. Its subjects — as well as the filmmakers themselves — are cultural workers who immigrated to the United States for the same reason anyone moves anywhere: in search of a better life. For all of them, the need to migrate was driven by the political reality of the countries where they were born, but as becomes apparent through their conversations with one another, their partners, and the filmmakers, and in independent monologues, living in the US — especially under the Trump Administration, when the project was conceived and shot — is itself an unstable endeavor.
