🎧 Inside the Arthouse: Rachel Seed on “A Photographic Memory” – A Powerful Mother-Daughter Documentary Rooted in Photojournalism and Legacy
What if the only way to know your mother was through the photographs, home movies, and audio tapes she left behind?
In this episode of INSIDE THE ARTHOUSE, we sit down with award-winning filmmaker Rachel Seed to explore her extraordinary documentary, A PHOTOGRAPHIC MEMORY—winner of the 2025 Independent Spirit Awards' Truer Than Fiction Award.
The film follows Rachel’s deeply personal, decade-long quest to connect with her mother, Sheila Turner-Seed, a pioneering photojournalist who died when Rachel was just 18 months old. Through an incredible archive of photographs, recorded interviews, and archival audio, Rachel uncovers her mother's work—interviews with legendary photographers like Henri Cartier-Bresson, Cecil Beaton, and Gordon Parks—and begins an emotional journey to piece together a legacy, a family history, and a mother-daughter bond that transcends time.
This intimate and genre-blending documentary weaves together themes of grief, memory, legacy, and the power of photography to tell personal and universal stories. Whether you’re interested in photojournalism history, archival documentaries, or simply love a moving family story, A PHOTOGRAPHIC MEMORY is not to be missed.
