Abstract
JoAnn Elam’s Elma + Deans opens with several shots of a church, perhaps near Elma, NY, where Elam spent some time with her family as a child. She then embarks on a road trip through the countryside, films the landscape from the car, stops at a small house, goes back on the road, and stops again by the river where the dog can go in and swim and near a school. Elma + Deans ends with a person gardening at an unidentified location. “Deans” possibly refers to that location.
