Don’t Forget to Remember: Filmmaker and artist unite for a personal take on dementia
Helena, mother of the artist Asbestos, in Don't Forget to Remember.
Ross Killeen and the artist Asbestos have created a powerful collaboration of documentary filmmaking and art in Don’t Forget to Remember. The documentary is an account of the artist’s experience of his mother Helena’s advancing Alzheimer's - but also a celebration of family life.
Both Killeen and Asbestos hope the project will open conversations about Alzheimer's, dementia and its impacts. Both of them have lived experiences with the disease - the filmmaker’s mother, Patricia, passed away in 2019, while Helena is at an advanced stage with her Alzheimer’s.
