About this Event

TIME PASSAGES (2024) with filmmaker Kyle Henry
with pre-screening reception and with post-screening discussion

A pandemic rages across the globe. In the final months of his mother Elaine’s late-stage dementia, gay filmmaker Kyle Henry (Associate Professor, Radio/TV/Film) uses his extensive family archive to travel back in time, exploring the complicated bonds of identity, history, and belonging in his large Texas family. Charting Elaine’s promising early life through her years of motherhood and self-sacrifice, finally tracing their relationship to its inevitable end, TIME PASSAGES playfully explores Kyle’s conflicting feelings of love, grief, guilt, and helplessness. Beneath the Kodachrome smiles and grainy Super-8 home movies lie the difficult truths that so many families hide. With their unearthing, TIME PASSAGES becomes a memento mori: a testament to love, legacy, and the things that carry us through life’s most challenging times.


TIME PASSAGES (Kyle Henry, 2024, 86 min, DCP)
A reception will be held in the Block Museum lobby at 6 PM sponsored by the Alice Kaplan Institute for the Humanities.
Following the screening, Ines Sommer (Director of the Pritzker Pucker Studio Lab) will moderate a discussion with filmmaker Kyle Henry, and guests Ai-jen Poo (President, National Domestic Workers Alliance & Executive Director, Caring Across Generations) + Northwestern Professor of Psychology Dan McAdams.

Co-presented with support from the Alice Kaplan Institute for the Humanities, the Pritzker Pucker Studio Lab (PPSL) for the Promotion of Mental Health via Cinematic Arts, the MFA in Documentary Media, and the Radio/TV/Film Department of Northwestern University
