Atlanta Film Festival 2025, Georgia Feature Special Mention
Eponymous
Jury Statement
We celebrate this film for its breakthrough concept and fierce originality, its affecting and fascinating examination of memory, and the unexpected lineage it traces between cinema and warfare, the camera and the gun.

“Eponymous” is a wonderful gem that pays tribute to a family’s life, and early cinema’s potential.
