embers
25m

A filmmaker searches for a picture of the Self, formed through words, lives and memories of other people, other beings, redwood trees. Woven between India and California, the film examines the subjectivity of memory and loss, both of family and of soil. Embers has been made like a poem, line by line, a filmmaker’s archive of grief.
