Description
In this stunning Irish documentary, an artist navigates his mother’s life and memories as they are being eroded by the advance of Alzheimer’s.
A collaboration between filmmaker Ross Killeen and Irish street artist Asbestos, Don’t Forget to Remember documents the latter’s creation of an installation inspired by his mother, Helena, who was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. The artwork is an attempt to preserve Helena’s memories of her life – capturing her experiences and feelings – and her love for those who have played a part in it… a joyous celebration of a life lived and a testament to the vivid, if fragile, nature of our memory.
Director Ross Killeen joins us for a Q&A after the screening.
Unclassified but recommended PG.
