i'm so embarrassed. i'm not a real person yet.

I’d rather eat glass

Gustav Klimt, Water Serpents (detail)

“…Aftersun is a personal film. Most films are, of course, but this film more than even those most. The essence of what I have to say about that is held within the 145,440 frames on screen. This film is unmistakably fiction, but within it is a truth that is mine; a love that is mine. Photos, videos—records of different types—are enclosed in the film and so it felt appropriate to enclose one here. A photograph of my dad and of me—the starting point for this project—each a single shot because photos of us both are in short supply in that pre-selfie era. I am 10 or 11, Sophie’s age in the film. My Dad is 31 or 32, a little younger than I am now. We happen to be in Turkey.”
