Dearest Fiona

2023 · 101 min

A quiet, contemplative essay film where archival images and a reading voice drift apart, asking you to sit with memory and absence rather than follow a story.

Directed by
Fiona Tan
Genres
Drama
Overview
As a voice reads letters from a father to his daughter off camera, 20th century archival images from the Netherlands are shown. Fiona Tan touchingly explores what potential emerges when sound and image diverge.
