Don’t Forget to Remember follows the Irish street artist Asbestos as he and his family learn to navigate his mother’s diagnosis of Alzheimer’s and cope with her fading memories.
The film is at once a moving portrait of one woman’s memory loss but also a celebration of a family coming together in the face of this condition. Throughout this process, director Ross Killeen turns the lens on Asbestos, investigating his artistic process and examining the role that art can play as a tool to heal throughout even the most turbulent times of our life.
Following on from the huge success of his debut film Love Yourself Today, which focused on the artist Damien Dempsey and received rave reviews, Don’t Forget to Remember is Killeen’s second feature length documentary.
"Both myself and Asbestos are eager to encourage wider conversations about family bonds, memory, and how some connections can never be diminished.” Ross Killeen
