Award-winning filmmaker Anne Aghion brings us on her decades-long, global odyssey to overcome loss. Through a series of tender, honest and visually stunning cinematic letters to the mother she lost at the age of ten and barely remembers, she grapples with the long-ignored effect of this death, the suppressed memories of her father’s life during the Holocaust, and a career as a filmmaker spent avoiding her own grief by giving voice to people who’ve survived extreme poverty and genocide. With a collage of home movies, outtakes from her previous films and original animated artwork embedded in grandiose footage of vast landscapes that take us to India, France, Rwanda, Antarctica and New York, Anne Aghion asks a question we all face: How do we live past the heartbreaks, sorrows and traumas we endure and come out whole?
Invited to shoot the cover for their 1972 album Exile on Main St., Robert Frank developed a relationship with the Rolling Stones that extended beyond Cocksucker Blues to include this Super 8 short, a jittery montage of the band slumming on Skid Row in downtown Los Angeles and gadding about in Mick Jagger’s rented Bel-Air mansion that Frank wryly contrasted with images of poor Black street buskers on the Bowery. Graphic designer John Van Hamersveld ended up using still images and film strips from the Super 8 footage to create collages for the album’s back cover and inner sleeves; the original material is on view in the exhibition Life Dances On. — Museum of Modern Art
