Remember a summer that won't return
by Charlotte Wells, 2022
A holiday video becomes an elegy for a father you only knew as a child.

A father and daughter on a cheap resort holiday in Turkey, filmed on a camcorder that keeps forgetting what it saw. Wells builds the whole film from the daughter's later rewatching of the tapes, so every bright moment is already a memory. The choreography to 'Under Pressure' is one of the great closing scenes. It is a film about how love and loss can live in the same grainy image.
