Edited from footage shot in 1998 Windows onto Montebello Road is part of a series of autobiographical films that examine the role of mediated experience and the influence and integration of the public and private spheres in the construction of an individual’s identity and memory.

The sounds of the public sphere, represented by contemporaneous radio news broadcasts, provide an auditory counterpoint.
