Remake
First screened in July 2026
Director: Ross McElwee. Documentary about the filmmaker's relationship in life and in death to a son who grew up on camera and lost his battle with addiction. Featuring Ross McElwee, Adrian McElwee, and Charleen Swansea. In Brief:
Very hard to shrug off, from larger story to sharp single cuts. But as self-critical as McElwee is, has he gone far enough?
VOR:④
Hard to imagine having to pore through years of a late child's footage, much of it harrowing, so as to source these images. Brave work.
