Filmed over the course of five years, "First Cousin Once Removed" is Alan Berliner’s compassionate, yet unsettling portrait of Edwin Honig -- distinguished poet, translator, critic, and teacher who died of complications from Alzheimer’s disease. It is an unflinching essay on the fragility of being human, and a stark reminder of the profound role that memory plays in all of our lives. Grand Prize Winner at 2012 IDFA (International Film Festival Amsterdam).View
