Carlos Aguilar When filmmaker Rachel Elizabeth Seed first hears the recorded voice of her late mother Sheila Turner Seed, who died when she was only 18 months old, a long-buried sense of connection is instantly reawakened. Seed, also a photographer, has spent years trying to construct a portrait of Turner from the substantial archival materials she left behind following a career as an adventurous, globe-trotting journalist.
Each element — Turner’s journals, the interviews she conducted, the television programs she appeared in, the photographs she took and her family’s home movies dating back to her childhood — adds depth to Seed’s vividly introspective documentary “A Photographic Memory.” But beyond the wealth of resources at her disposal, it’s the consistently meta and thematically relevant formal ingenuity Seed shrewdly deploys that make her debut a sumptuous piece of nonfiction. Since she can only begin to know herself once she knows who her mother was, Seed creates a vehicle for self-discovery through the dissection of her most significant personal loss.
Thus, the film functions as a dual examination that traverses past and present in an attempt to free Seed’s future from this primordial wound. Seed celebrates Turner’s numerous accomplishments in her field defying gender norms, but also investigates her humanity in the men she loved and those who loved her more, her complex familial ties, and in the urgency that propelled her to experience everything rapidly, almost as if she knew her time would be more limited than for most.
Turner’s soft-spoken but determined demeanor, as captured in voice recorders and cameras, soon emerges as the most glaring similarity between mother and daughter. Turner’s most notable work,

Trite as it certainly sounds, the saccharine label of a “lover letter to cinema” applies all too precisely to French director Arnaud Desplechin’s enchanting docufiction effort “Filmlovers!” (“Spectateurs!”). But even with that obnoxiously overused denomination hanging over it, this multifaceted personal essay succeeds at rekindling or reaffirming one’s own relationship with the miracle of this young art form that we so often take for granted.

There have been countless books written about the immortal star, Elizabeth Taylor, even some credited to her as both memoir or autobiography including 1989’s “Elizabeth On Elizabeth”. But a book released on January 1, 1965 probably comes closest to a pure autobiography, and looking at the cover it simply says “Elizabeth Taylor by Elizabeth Taylor”. It is a by the numbers account of her life through her own words up until that point, but the fact is it was actually written by Richard Meryman, a journalist credited with among other things the last interview with Marilyn Monroe (published two days before her August 4, 1962 death). Meryman got Taylor to sit for some taped recorded sessions in 1964 out which he would be able to write the book as if Taylor did it herself. Now exactly 60 years later those presumed “lost” tape recordings have been found and cleared for release by Taylor’s and Meryman’s estates. They have been in fact in Meryman’s wife’s possession all these years, but now filmmaker Nanette Burstein (Hillary, The Kid Stays In The Picture) has rediscovered a treasure trove of about 40 hours of interview in order to produce the new HBO Documentary, Elizabeth Taylor: The Lost Tapes“.
