Join us at the Museum of Photographic Arts for a compelling double feature that explores memory, identity, and personal storytelling through the lens of photography and film. "A Photographic Memory" and "Ben Between Africa" are both documentaries that follow deeply personal journeys of two filmmakers seeking to understand a late family member through the photographs, letters, and archives they left behind. Together, they explore universal themes of grief, intergenerational healing, memory, and belonging. These aren’t just films; they’re acts of remembrance, filmmaking as a bridge between past and present. We believe the pairing of these two works offers a unique opportunity for audiences to reflect on the power of personal storytelling and the emotional resonance of archival film.
