NOTES

Title from title frames

In the final months of his mother Elaine’s late-stage dementia, as a pandemic rages across the globe, filmmaker Kyle Henry time travels via his family archive and his own memories to heal past wounds. Theirs is a large Texan family, but as one of Elaine's primary caregivers, the gay son shares a unique and complicated bond with his mother. Charting his mother’s early life and dashed desires through to years of motherhood and self-sacrifice, and tracing their relationship to its inevitable end, TIME PASSAGES playfully reckons with feelings of grief, conflict and loss of control. Beneath the Kodachrome smiles and grainy Super-8 home movies, Henry unearths difficult truths as an act of intergenerational healing that becomes a testament to love, legacy and those things that carry us through life’s most challenging times. Major screenings: Chicago Int'l Film Festival, Austin Film Society Doc Days, Cinequest. “… puts a spotlight on how families grapple with dementia and care … opens the door for connections with other families.” - Remus Jackson, Film Critic, Hyperreal Film Club
