Memphremagog (2025 Preservation Print)
Sign in to track this film in your collection or want list.
“Memphremagog” violently sprints and halts through a collage of travel montage, providing a glimpse at cattle, nature, and road tripping. The sequence paces out on a close up of seemingly JoAnn Elam’s face before transitioning into a family scene on a cabin’s back porch. There, a parliament of characters engages with one another: talking, laughing, braiding, and dancing, as two dogs wander.
