Frei is a film focused on individuals who left the Hasidic enclaves they were raised in in order to enter secular life. A hybrid between documentary and video art, the work is comprised of interviews, time-based portraiture and environmental documentation of each individual in their current and former communities. The individuals in this film have been living outside the community for many years, yet whether it is their pronounced accent or the keeping of ritual custom, traces of their former selves lie just below the surface. Frei allows the viewer to witness a world that exists within contemporary society yet remains removed from it, ultimately asking viewers to consider the artificiality of their assumptions about communities, individuals, and religious identity.
