I won’t grieve your death. I grieve your lingering.
Director’s Note: This film is mainly motivated by the experience of my grandma having been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s 10 years ago, and seeing her condition deteriorate to the point of her being in a vegetative state for the better part of the last 6 years.
The affectionate memories I have of my grandma are impossible to recreate, and attempting to do so would be a futile and hurtful experience. She doesn’t know who I am anymore, and neither does she know that any of those experiences were once reality. I wanted to subvert the idea of remembering by using the empty and deteriorating rooms in my grandma’s house, emphasizing the lack of something in them.
This was a project made for an Experimental Film class at DePaul University.
