“in making it, you’re lost along the way”. can't agree more, that's how we give meaning to our existence.
"The film asks this question of the ambivalence of history and memory. On one level, we need to forget, to forgive a difficult parent. On the other hand, we owe it to the past to remember certain things, not to repeat those faults."

REBUILDING, out this week, is a wistful and elegiac picture that still left me hopeful about our capacity to rise out of ashes and make something more beautiful of our world — in other words, it's a distant dream, but a welcome one. Loved speaking to Max Walker-Silverman about it earlier this year.
