Titled after an essay by science fiction writer Ursula K. LeGuin on the relationship between narrative and technology, this experimental diaristic essay film explores the tension between the desire to hold onto or capture life, and the excessive flux of the endlessly transforming world. The digitized VHS video centers around the intimate relationship between the filmmaker and their father, a rabbinic chaplain at a local hospital, as a way into asking questions about spirituality and death, narrative structure, and how the mediating lenses we look through turn back to shape the stories that hold us.
