Post-show Q&A with director Geeta Gandbhir

In 2023, in a small middle-class suburban street in Central Florida, a seemingly minor dispute escalated into violence. While Black children play in a grassy open lot between houses, one resident Susan Lorincz—who calls herself “the perfect neighbor”—feels continually taunted and allegedly threatened. Conceived almost entirely using bodycam footage from police who were called into investigate Lorincz’s claims of harassment, The Perfect Neighbor is the increasingly gripping chronicle of an escalating conflict, laying bare in stunning and intimate detail the racial schisms and profound injustices that continue to define American life.
