SUMMARY:AJFF Presents: "A Photographic Memory"
DESCRIPTION:Sheila Turner Seed was an award-winning New York City-based\, journalist in the 1970s who interviewed such photography luminaries as Henri Cartier-Bresson\, Gordon Parks\, Cecil Beaton\, and Lisette Model. When she passed away suddenly and tragically\, she left behind an infant daughter\, Rachel. More than 30 years later\, Rachel has herself become a filmmaker\, photographer\, and writer. A Photographic Memory marks a moving attempt to navigate grief and nostalgia as Rachel deep-dives into Shelia’s archives\, much of which had been forgotten.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWHY WE LIKE THIS FILM: Brought to our attention by Phil Spertus\, who knew Sheila Turner Seed\, this film is a beautifully made and touching story of her daughter\, Rachel trying to understand and connect with the mother she never got to know. Rachel is expected to travel to Austin for a post screening Q&A.
