Trip down memory lane

Three red sweaters

A short documentary about how memories are changing now that we can document every moment of our lives.

Today almost everyone has the ability to document every moment of their lives thanks to technology. However, be it in the 1950s or the present day, there has always been a debate about whether or not visually documenting an experience can somehow remove that person from a given moment or, on the contrary, solidify their very presence in a memory.  

In a profoundly intimate documentary, filmmaker Martha Gregory set out to investigate how the growth of visual media has altered a person’s need for memories using her grandfather’s old 16mm footage and recorded retrospective as her guide. Three Red Sweaters is a film about visual media, family history, and ultimately how important it is to leave a little piece of yourself behind for your loved ones, once you pass on.
