Interview with Diane Bonder

Q: What inspired you to make this piece?

A: The film began with the shot that appears at the very end, the lone figure of my father disappearing into the fog. I had shot this years before beginning the piece. I got the film developed and put it in a box. Never looked at it, because I am superstitious and thought that if I tried to use it, something bad might happen. I waited until my father died, then I took out all the film I had shot of him from the last few years.
