While working for CARE International in displaced persons camps as a relief worker in Rwanda, filmmaker Heather Greer gave 12 rolls of film to a colleague traveling back to the United States. These photographs had been taken to document CARE’s relief activities. Due to a family emergency, the film never arrived at CARE’s headquarters in Atlanta.
In 2018, Heather received a note. The wrapped box of film – untouched for 25 years – had been found in the colleague’s father’s attic. Would she like to have the film back? When the box arrived, Heather decided to record the processing of the pictures and speak with photographer Gilles Peress who had been in Rwanda during the genocide.
Part fractal, part time-capsule, THE HALFWAY BETWEEN ALL THIS captures a moment between two people reflecting on photography, memory, time and history.
