The absence of knowledge of the Good is madness. Still, in our age, Being manifests itself only in the mode of absence. “It is a time of the gods that have fled and the god that is to come. It is a time of need, because it lies under a double lack and a double Not: the No more of the gods that have fled and the Not yet of the god that is coming” (Heidegger).

“Yin Yin/Jade Love” is a documentary about a granddaughter’s discovery of her grandmother after she has died. The film simultaneously explores the emotional impact of the filmmaker’s last visit with her grandmother, her death, what was subsequently discovered about her extraordinary life, and childhood memories surrounding her and her home. The narration, by the filmmaker, is supported by past (VHS, 8mm, historical stills), present (16mm) and recreated (Super 8) images that are woven together creating a rich, densely layered, reflective collage. “Yin Yin/Jade Love” hopes to capture a portrait of the filmmaker’s Yin Yin and convey insight into the experience of loss, discovery and regret.
