The 2012 Carnegie Mellon International Film Festival: Faces of Others

“Now that my mother has developed Alzheimer’s disease, I don’t see her dissolving, I see her appearing. I see her as an Alice in Wonderland: she is falling through time. I fall after her, discover where she is, what she is going through, what she is doing or saying.” In her originally stylized documentary, director Adelheid Roosen paints an intimate and private portrait of her mother. Replete with tenderness and humor, Mum undertakes a journey into the world of a woman with an elusive and debilitating disease. (Directed by Adelheid Roosen | The Netherlands | 2009 | 20 min.)

+ Director Adelheid Roosen is scheduled to appear

Presented in conjunction with the Distinctively Dutch Arts Festival.
