Director Ross McElwee

Following the death of his son Adrian, autobiographical filmmaker Ross McElwee embarks on a poignant journey through his extensive archive of home movies. Once simple family captures, these recordings become a profound investigation into the intersection of fatherhood, loss, and the camera’s gaze. As McElwee reflects on how his profession shaped his relationship with his son, he intertwines personal grief with an attempt to reimagine his early work. The result is a raw and intimate meditation on mortality, memory, and the complex process of finding closure.

This raw reflection on parenthood and memory is best shared. Find a fellow cinephile or a movie group on Cinemeet to discuss this deeply personal documentary together.
