“Life passes through films.” In this deeply intimate documentary, Quebec filmmaker André-Line Beauparlant turns the camera on her own life to better understand the work and the existence of her partner, filmmaker Robert Morin. As the image — composed of film excerpts, behind-the-scenes footage, conversations, and personal archives — reveals both the inner workings and the hidden underside of their collaboration in cinema and in life, the narration unfolds as a dual biography, reflecting on love, obsession, the passage of time, and death. Guided by a profound desire to truly encounter the other, Mon amour, c’est pour le restant de mes jours is a love letter, a diary of everyday life, and a resolutely feminist proposition: one that envisions creation as a plural, shared act.

As a visually radical memoir, CAMERAPERSON draws on the remarkable footage that filmmaker Kirsten Johnson has shot and reframes it in ways that illuminate moments and situations that have personally affected her. What emerges is an elegant meditation on the relationship between truth and the camera frame, as Johnson transforms scenes that have been presented on Festival screens as one kind of truth into another kind of story—one about personal journey, craft, and direct human connection.

Lyrical and powerfully personal essay film that reflects on the deaths of her husband Lou Reed, her mother, her beloved dog, and such diverse subjects as family memories, surveillance, and Buddhist teachings.
