Galway City Council and the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media in partnership with PÁLÁS and MOTHERLAND present a special screening of the acclaimed documentary, “Don’t Forget to Remember,” at Pálás Cinema on September 4th. The screening will be followed by a Q&A with the film’s director, Ross Kileen, and artist Asbestos. Tickets for this screening are now on sale on Pálás Cinema website.

Synopsis: There is an inherent understanding of the grieving process when a family loses a loved one, but what if that person isn’t gone? Don’t Forget to Remember is an emotive human story that explores the fragility of memory and the lived experience of Alzheimer’s whilst also celebrating a family’s life lived together. In collaboration with the artist Asbestos, the film opens up an honest conversation about the brittleness of memory. Through the artist’s process, we establish that even though Alzheimer’s brings elements of disintegration and destruction, we can never truly lose a loved one if we hold on to our collective memories.
