Left-Handed Memories
Michele Fleming, 1989, US, 16mm, 15'
This is Shellie Fleming’s tribute to Will Hindle, created roughly two years after his sudden death from a heart attack. Shot on a minimal budget using outdated film stock, Left Handed Memories combines outtakes from Hindle’s work with new footage by Fleming, including scenes in Baltimore following her return from his funeral. Passages from his films appear as memories at the bottom of the frame. The audio mixes radio clips from the day of Hindle’s death with music from his record collection.
“This film would be the first artwork where I would insist that I always remember how small I was in the global reality.” (Shellie Fleming)
