Those Who Wait

Overview

A poetic retelling of the Millerite doomsday movement that swept across America in the 1840s. The film follows the town of Portland, Maine as its residents navigate several waves of apocalyptic prophecy and disappointment. Told in tableau and parable, this queer gaze into the colonial past explores the powers and perils of “believing it's over.” In a moment of political and environmental upheavals and catastrophes, the film explores our collective desire to embrace apocalyptic fantasy.
