Joanna Callaghan

Tracing her journey from Australia to the UK, director Joanna Callaghan weaves together her own personal history with a wider story of colonisation, migration and the role of geography in identity. Framed by a road trip through Australia, Callaghan uses a diverse range of recorded media to explore her relationship with the country, her family and her own creative life. Shaping this rich mix of archive material, including family photos, home movies and extracts from her own films and photography, Record builds to reveal a lifetime’s journey.

This is a film about Plato's ideas. It is about Stanley who meets his reflection in a field. The two begin a dialogue in the tradition of Socrates and his pupils. The reflection proves the wiser and though Stanley believes himself to be the 'real' Stanley, and Stanley Too the reflection, he gradually discovers this is not the case.
