Memory Film: A Filmmaker's Diary
Synopsis
âmemory film: a filmmakerâs diaryâ is an immersive poetic documentary based on Jeni Thornleyâs Super8 archive (1974-2003) filmed during the decades of her political and personal filmmaking, while producing âMaidensâ, âTo the Other Shoreâ, âIsland Home Countryâ and the collaborative feature âFor Love or Moneyâ. Documenting the activism of three decades amidst the intense sexual politics of radical feminism and social change, âmemory filmâ tells the inner story of a journey of liberation â 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.
