Curating Grief: Loss and Objects

About the Film

In Curating Grief: Loss and Objects, filmmaker Jamie Max Lee invites audiences on an emotional and introspective journey through grief. Partnering with Grief Coach and Founder of the Grief Gallery Charlene Lam, Jamie delves into the intricacies of loss, and the objects left behind after a loved one dies.

Set against beautiful scenes of Lisbon, this ambitious project shows Jamie and Charlene bravely sharing cherished objects from their departed parents. Through the lens of Charlene’s expertise, the film also becomes a poignant exploration of the ties that bind individuals to their lost loved ones through objects and stories.

In heartfelt dialogue between Jamie and Charlene, the film brings to surface some of the nuances of grief, highlighting both the differences and shared threads that weave through their respective experiences of loss.

This is a personal and emotional film exploring the filmmakers relationship with grief and mental health in a vulnerable and open discussion with the audience.

The film is currently doing its first festival circuit and will be available to watch later in 2024.

Film length: 33min

hi!

I’m Charlene

After my mother died suddenly in 2013, I leaned into my creativity and instincts as a curator to guide myself through grief.

Now I help other people with their grief and experiences of loss. As founder and curator of The Grief Gallery™, I present exhibitions and events about grief and loss. As a certified grief coach, I use my Curating Grief framework to help people process grief and loss in a creative, accessible way.
