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. Our virtual screening includes an interview AJFF recorded with Rachel.
