Mamas

this is not

An offering of films that examine our mothership connection.

Whether through toiling the earth, nursing new generations, or the anguish borne out of the loss of progeny; mothers as guardians of the flame, nudge us toward the fragile threads that hold us all together. While the displacement of generational wounds can fracture and damage familial bonds, the steadfast defiance of our mamas can in contrast, sow a grasping for ancestral memory. They are the keepers of histories sitting astride our lives. Their varied complex notions of tenderness, resilience and expressions of love, help us steer toward a sacred reconciliation with the stillness found in knowing ourselves.
