WISDOM GONE WILD [In-Person]

Directed By Rea Tajiri

USA | Documentary | 84 min

[After the screening, there will be a live in-person Q&A with the filmmakers.]

WISDOM GONE WILD is a vibrant tender cine-poem, in which a filmmaker collaborates with her nisei mother as they confront the painful curious reality of wisdom ‘gone wild’ in the shadows of dementia.

This end-of-life documentary is injected with a wildness, unpredictability and humour. Music, singing, art and movement become central vessels of memory and connection.

Aided by a palimpsest of home movie footage, photographs and documents–which dazzle in their visual textures and analogue beauty–the film blends time between the past and present, skillfully weaving threads together over its duration.
