Capital Irish Film Festival: DON'T FORGET TO REMEMBER + Q&A

Capital Irish Film Festival Closing Night: East Coast Premiere of DON'T FORGET TO REMEMBER featuring Q&A with director Ross Killeen, moderated by artist Sheldon Scott
There is an inherent understanding of the grieving process when a family loses a loved one, but what if that person is not yet gone? DON’T FORGET TO REMEMBER is an artist’s exploration of the fragility of memory and the lived experience of his mother’s advancing Alzheimer’s — but it also celebrates a family’s life lived together. In collaboration with the artist Asbestos, the film opens an honest conversation about the delicate nature of memory. Through the artist’s process, the film suggests that even though Alzheimer’s brings elements of disintegration and destruction, we can never truly lose a loved one if we hold on to our collective memories. NOT RATED
