How does memory site alteration effect those who remember it? Does the location store the memory or do we? This piece is a mediation on the relationships the filmmaker’s father and she have with the deteriorating farm on which they both grew up. Told through the lens of auto-ethnography and set up as dual autobiography, this work is an exploration of family, memory, retention, and release. Featuring striking images of the family landmark - the hay barn built by the filmmaker’s great-grandfather in mid-destruction and the raw emotion of both the original heir of the farm and McNally herself, the would-have-been heir, this piece is a tour-de-force of the pain and regret endured through generations. |
