Keeping Together in Time

2021 · 9 min

This film is an attempt to define an imaginary word. "Teleomeric" was a word my husband used to use, before he had a stroke and lost his language. Now I am left with the memory of a word which I cannot find in the dictionary. The closest word I can find to "teleomeric" is "telomeric," meaning belonging to the telomeres, or the ends of the chromosome, which protect their information and prevent them from sticking together. In this sense, the film is actually about the search for those rare moments of consolidation that keep us afloat.
