Artscapes: Creative minds, artistic pursuits and inventive filmmaking
Recipient of the Hot Docs Outstanding Achievement Award in 2007, legendary award-winning director Heddy Honigmann returns with her most personal film to date. Facing her own truths and the realities of her terminal illness, she embarks upon a spiritual journey in this farewell film. Accompanied by her husband, they travel to her country of birth, Peru, and throughout the Netherlands to revisit some of the most important places and moments of her life. Richly illustrated with some of her previous works, including Metal and Melancholy, O Amor Natural, The Underground Orchestra and Crazy, Heddy weaves a tale of joy in the face of adversity. In this life-affirming film, she confronts her complicated familial past. Heather Haynes
