My Lake Erie Movie May 13, 2025

The footage in this movie was captured, without any intended purpose, between the years of 2008 and 2023 when the filmmaker visited her childhood home in Mentor, Ohio, a town that sits along the shores of the Great Lake Erie. Shot instinctively, haphazardly, gloriously with whatever devices were on hand, most notably multiple BlackBerry phones and a FUJIFILM X-T200, this kaleidoscopic film (perhaps) seeks to find out what Iris Murdoch meant when she wrote: “Time, like the sea, unties all knots.”
