memory film: a filmmaker’s diary Trailers

‘memory film: a filmmaker’s diary’ is an immersive poetic documentary based on Jeni Thornley’s Super8 archive (1974-2003) filmed during the decades of her political and personal filmmaking, while producing ‘Maidens’, ‘To the Other Shore’, ‘Island Home Country’ and the collaborative feature ‘For Love or Money’. Documenting the activism of three decades amidst the intense sexual politics of radical feminism and social change, ‘memory film’ tells the inner story of a journey of liberation – gender fluidity, utopian feminism, love and its tribulations, the pleasure and pain of motherhood, violence against women, the desire for a world free of war and colonizing, and ultimately mortality and impermanence.

SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped
Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good
Siflutter It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
