Last of the Last Days

This film presents a personal narrative through the lens of the director's experience with her mother, a devout Jehovah’s Witness. The tension between faith and family is palpable as the director reveals her decision to leave the family's religious beliefs, prompting an ultimatum from her mother. The letters sent two decades later add a poignant layer, as they highlight the emotional distance created by these choices.

The experimental nature of Last of the Last Days invites viewers to reflect on the themes of loss and the cyclical nature of generational choices. By blending personal home videos with correspondence, the film challenges audiences to consider the implications of faith on familial relationships and the reasons behind repeating past mistakes. This thought-provoking approach makes it a significant work for those interested in the intersections of faith, family, and identity.
