Photographic Memory

When McElwee finds himself increasingly exasperated by his son's addiction to technology, he decides to revisit his own youth, retracing a trip to France he made in his early twenties. Armed with some of the first photographs he ever took, McElwee searches for a wedding photographer he worked for as an assistant and a woman he lived with for a short time. He's also carrying a digital camera, his first foray into this technology. The resulting film, which draws on his archive of family footage, is a poetic meditation on looking back in order to move forward.
