[work-in-progress]
“Signs & Wonders: Instructions for Survival” is a feature-length film incorporating experimental techniques to tell a story of people on the margins of a society-in-crisis. Set in 1984 New York, against the backdrop of the terrifying devastation of the early AIDS epidemic, it follows two young, queer men and their fateful collision: Bill, a Black filmmaker from an artistic Harlem family, and Tomek, a newly arrived refugee escaping persecution from Communist Poland to the protection of his anti-communist idol, Ronald Reagan.
