In this debut work, spoken word poet and filmmaker, Butch Schwarzkopf, reaches out to the empty spaces: a too-quiet house, the end of the universe, a silenced colonial history, the grief of losing a loved one. Schwarzkopf braids his artistic disciplines together to portray cinematic visions of past, present, and future beating to deep-rooted ancestral rhythms. Pagong Cannot Climb Trees is a moving reflection on the messiness of life and heritage, and a reminder of the beauty and humanity in trying, with every new day, to carry the burdens of the heart.
