Photographic Memory
2011, English. Directed by Ross McElwee.
Documentary filmmaker Ross McElwee finds himself in frequent conflict with his son Adrian, a young adult who Ross believes is distracted by and addicted to the digital word. Thinking about his own youth, Ross travels to St. Quay-Portrieux in Brittany, France, which he visited and lived in for a time during his twenties. There he attempts to track down Maurice, a photographer who gave him his first job with a camera, and Maud, a woman he was once romantically involved with.
