A Photographic Memory
Sheila Turner Seed was an award-winning New York City-based, journalist in the 1970s who interviewed such photography luminaries as Henri Cartier-Bresson, Gordon Parks, Cecil Beaton, and Lisette Model. When she passed away suddenly and tragically, she left behind an infant daughter, Rachel. More than 30 years later, Rachel has herself become a filmmaker, photographer, and writer. A Photographic Memory marks a moving attempt to navigate grief and nostalgia as Rachel deep-dives into Shelia’s archives, much of which had been forgotten.
WHY WE LIKE THIS FILM: Brought to our attention by Phil Spertus, who knew Sheila Turner Seed, this film is a beautifully made and touching story of her daughter, Rachel trying to understand and connect with the mother she never got to know. Rachel is expected to travel to Austin for a post screening Q&A.
