Desolation Slow is both a visual tone poem and social inquiry, bringing moving image art and documentary forms together in a mesmeric cinematic collision. Filmed on location in rural Utah and Salt Lake City by moving image artist Allen Killian-Moore, the film reflects on homelessness, geography, and abandonment, while pondering connections between human and structural decay. Desolation Slow is also steeped in ballads recounting decades of homelessness through the voice and figure of Joe Ortega, a formerly homeless resident who is now successfully off the streets. The film's sonic pallet is complemented with a musical score composed by Chicago avant-guitarist, Billy T. (Bill Tucker), creating a dynamic counterpart to its visual preoccupations. Documenting life on the edge of society, Allen Killian-Moore’s unconventional documentary, Desolation Slow, poetically questions the status quo while affirming that homelessness is not inevitable.
