A young woman reflects on her youth in Queens during the early 90s. Swetha Regunathan directs “Wire & Cloth,” a second gen, coming-of-age account with the feeling of re-enacted memories aided by a meditative narration. Anika, the child of Indian immigrants, spends the day with her mother. The young girl has a wide-eyed outlook at life in the city despite her mother’s fluctuating headspace and struggle to find a job. When there’s an opportunity to house sit for a wealthy family friend and feed their fish, the ornaments of a lavish life offer an exciting, but ultimately distracting, impulse. The atmospheric score and cotton-candy hues of a 16mm grade serve this coming-of-age well, and the spoken reflection is poignant and endearing. -JM. Director: Swetha Regunathan.
