A PHOTOGRAPHIC MEMORY

NY PREMIERE 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. – Jaie Laplante

The screenings will be followed by Q&As with filmmaker Rachel Elizabeth Seed and executive producer Kirsten Johnson. The second Q&A will be moderated by Alan Berliner.
