Directed by Sofia Bohdanowicz • 2016 • Canada
Starring Deragh Campbell, Joan Benac, George Radovics

A singularly affecting cross between documentary, fiction, family portrait, and detective story, NEVER EAT ALONE casts director Sofia Bohdanowicz’s own grandmother, Joan Benac, as a version of herself, an elderly woman who enlists the help of her granddaughter (Deragh Campbell in the first of her many appearances as the filmmaker’s alter ego, Audrey Benac) to help her find a former lover, a man with whom she once starred in a television show in the 1950s. The shared quest of these two women sheds light on both long-lost histories and the relationship between memory, time, and aging.
