Still Processing
2020 | 17 minutes | Canada
Director: Sophy Romvari
Language: English
A box of stunning family photos awakens grief and lost memories as they are viewed for the first time on camera. Filmmaker Sophy Romvari documents her first-hand experience as an exploration into cinema as therapy in this nonfiction short.
About the pairing:
Both films subvert expectations of documentary narratives while at the same time taking very different approaches to exploring the ways in which the story, and legacy, of a person’s life can have a lasting impact, even long after they’re gone.
While No Ordinary Man does so through the lens of “recreating” the undocumented moments from Billy Tipton’s life, Still Processing does almost the opposite, as the filmmaker herself confronts her own personal experiences of loss and grief as she sees photographs capturing the moments and memories leading up to her family’s trauma for the first time.
