BEFORE ME

2023/ 17:57 min

Experimental documentary

An incomplete family story leads the filmmaker on a quest to find her mother in the British archives. The discovery of a photograph unearths a story of upheaval, desolation, and ultimately, transformation. A lament for a mother whose life was lost, then found, in the dust of the archive.

Shot on 16mm and 4k in Bristol and Salisbury, UK and in Ottawa, Canada and accompanied by a powerful soundtrack by Edmund Eagan.
