We Tattooed Your Mother

We Tattooed Your Mother is a poignant exploration of identity, belonging, and maternal inheritances. In 2010, Andrew filmed his mother Regina getting one tattoo covered with another. This becomes the springboard for uncovering the ruptures between his maternal grandmother and great-grandmother, a journey that leads him from the USA to Brazil and Poland over 14 years. Experimenting with filming techniques, editing and visual effects, Andrew attempts to fill the absences that make maternal bonds and memory so complex, forging connections with Regina and with the pasts that shape them both.
