Filmmaker Sofia Bohdanowicz and actor Deragh Campbell continue their ongoing investigation of collective memory and blurred biography with MS Slavic 7—their first collaboration with shared writer, director, and producer credits. Returning to the character of Audrey Benac [Campbell], now an executor for her late grandmother’s literary estate, the film follows her research down the rabbit hole of her family history and into the murk of her own identity. With her docu-lyrical visual style, Bohdanowicz offers a soft translucence to the movements of memory and belonging at play in the legacy of immigration. While maybe posing more questions than answers, MS Slavic 7 is a profound illumination—leaving the kind of indelible impressions that invite us to think directly about, among so much else, what we talk about when we talk about “after-images.” —Seán Galway
