In Curating Grief: Loss and Objects, filmmaker Jamie Max Lee invites audiences on an emotional and introspective journey through grief. Partnering with Grief Coach and Founder of the Grief Gallery Charlene Lam, Jamie delves into the intricacies of loss, and the objects left behind after a loved one dies.
Set against beautiful scenes of Lisbon, this ambitious project shows Jamie and Charlene bravely sharing cherished objects from their departed parents. Through the lens of Charlene’s expertise, the film also becomes a poignant exploration of the ties that bind individuals to their lost loved ones through objects and stories.
In heartfelt dialogue between Jamie and Charlene, the film brings to surface some of the nuances of grief, highlighting both the differences and shared threads that weave through their respective experiences of loss.
This is a personal and emotional film exploring the filmmakers relationship with grief and mental health in a vulnerable and open discussion with the audience.
Curating Grief is currently doing its first festival circuit and will be available to watch later this year.
