From the Judges, on Fading Forward
A reflection on how we capture and keep our memories, this short moves with real confidence from its opening sequence onward. The panel admired a documentary that ranges across retro and modern shooting techniques, holding a beautifully shot look throughout, and a tight, punchy structure that keeps the interviewees engaging and the whole piece perfectly paced. Reflective and well-built, it raises genuine questions about how we document a life, and it leaves you wanting to go and make something.
