Losing Her
Director: James Killough
Showing: May 29, 8pm, MTC
(Filmmaker in person) Losing Her is an exquisite meditation on the memory of loss and the comfort, albeit fleeting, of chance encounters. As Helen desperately searches for her lost grandmother through the labyrinthine galleries of the Tate Britain Museum, a stalking security guard is never far behind. She finds momentary refuge in the company of Jenny, a precocious little girl, and Carson, her artist father. At every level – narratively, cinematically, emotionally – Losing Her is impossible to forget. (U.K., 2007, 30 min.) – G.R. |
