“someone has to remember”
Synopsis
Built from lost 8mm Kodachrome reels of a Missouri farm in 1959, marigold is a poetic nonfiction short that turns archival footage into an act of preservation. More than sixty years later, the filmmaker pairs these fragile images with a personal narration that asks what survives of us when memory fades, and whether wonder can keep us alive in the stories we leave behind. Intimate in scope yet universal in resonance, marigold is not nostalgia but rescue, a cinematic elegy about holding on before it is too late.
