'memory film' is a poetic documentary by Jeni Thornley based on her Super 8 archive (1974-2003), filmed during the decades of her personal and political filmmaking producing 'Maidens' (1978), 'To the Other Shore' (1996), 'Island Home Country' (2008) and the collaborative feature 'For Love or Money' (1983).
Documenting the activism of three decades, amidst the intense sexual politics of radical feminism and social change, 'memory film' is a road movie of an inner journey of liberation – gender fluidity, utopian feminism, love and its tribulations, the pleasure and pain of motherhood, violence against women and the desire for a world free of war and colonizing – accompanied by a sweeping score by Egyptian-Australian Joseph Tawadros.
