Eastern Anthems

Running 1h 16m and made in Canada, Eastern Anthems (2025) is a Documentary film in the 123movies catalog. The cast includes Stephen Bradley and Jean-Benoît Duval; Matthew Wolkow directs. An unfinished film is passed along from one friend to another. The dialog between them is a journey crossed by the swarming of the Great Eastern Brood X of periodical cicadas that prophetically emerge every 17 years in the United States, invoking a reflection of a post-pandemic present and our shared futures. A road movie composed of a chorus of voices (both human and non-human),the warnings of history, the power of nature and rebirth.
