ICE CREAM
SYDNEY SOUTHAM
A film made from 16 mm footage appropriated from my late father's childhood, this piece explores themes of memory, innocence lost, and death. I am using footage depicting my family, shot decades before I was born, to explore my own complicated relationship with my childhood which ended abruptly with the suicide of my father when I was seven years old. Here, Ice Cream acts as a metaphor for a youth that we all experience and mourn once it is gone.
