Remake
Dir: Ross McElwee, 2025, USA, 114 mins, Cert: 18 (CTBA)

Sun 4 October // 18:00
Tickets: £5
In Remake, filmmaker Ross McElwee turns his lens on the passage of time and the uneasy space between documenting life and understanding it. The film traces McElwee’s relationship with his son Adrian, and the fragile bond the camera created between them while Adrian was alive, and now that he’s gone.
Drawing from decades of footage, some shot by Ross, some by Adrian, the film becomes a layered excavation of memory and image making. Threaded through is the ghost of another project: a stalled effort by Hollywood to fictionalize McElwee’s 1986 classic, Sherman’s March.
What emerges is a work shaped by absence and propelled forward by a father’s love for his son.
‘As a meditation on memory and the passage of time, it is stunning’ New York Times
‘Remarkable’ ★★★★★ Little White Lies
This autumn, Cube celebrates the work of pioneering filmmaker Ross McElwee with two films spanning nearly four decades. We’re delighted to present a new 4K restoration of his landmark 1986 documentary Sherman’s March, alongside his latest feature, Remake. Together, these deeply personal films chart a singular filmmaking journey, exploring love, memory, family and the passage of time through McElwee’s uniquely intimate lens.
