Nunca Quise Ir is an essay film that reflects on road trips, family, and the emotional contradictions tied to memory and nostalgia. The film explores the tension between the frustration of being confined during long car rides and the sense of longing that emerges when looking back at photographs from those moments. Composed of 35mm photography, digital photographs, and iPhone interview footage, the film weaves together different image forms to examine how documentation shapes the way we remember and reinterpret the past. Guided by a reflective voice and an open, exploratory structure, the project engages with Timothy Corrigan’s concept of expressive subjectivity, foregrounding the filmmaker’s presence as a way of thinking through personal questions about family, movement, and memory.
