Isabella

An experimental documentary, texturally portraying the experience of a 92-year-old woman as she struggles with short-term memory loss.

Animation & Artists Moving Image 2015 9 mins

Overview

At the age of ninety-two, Isabella struggles to remember… As she becomes ever fragile and her short-term memory begins to falter, her past is explored, questioned and brought to life. Isabella takes us on a disjointed yet immersive journey that provides us not only a window into her life, but shows us a mirror which reflects upon our own.

How much of your life do you need to remember to remain yourself? Selected for Future Film Festival 9 (2016).
