Synopsis
Bus 11 is an experimental film that plays with ideas of stillness and movement within an urban setting. A young woman travels away from home in order to daydream about a different life. On her journey, we see the world through her eyes – as a constantly moving entity that always stays the same no matter where you go.

Personal statement
Director Kim Ross says:
"Bus 11 was developed from an idea of displacement and daydream set to the poetry of Esperanza Maggay. When I needed a break from roommates and studying, I used to take the bus to different parts of the city and imagine what it be like to be somewhere else. Bus 11 is an expression of that journey."
