The Swimming Diaries is an experimental docufiction film by Susan Thomson, an adaptation of her memoir into a visual and auditory exploration of grief and memory.
Each of the 25,000 words in her book corresponds to a metre swum during the month her mother was dying. The film translates this journey into movement, blending dance, music, and archival footage.
Featuring underwater sequences, surreal imagery, and a fusion of choral, orchestral, and pop music, creating a poignant meditation on loss and the enduring bond between mother and daughter.
