The Feature is a collaboration between filmmakers Michel Auder and Andrew Neel. Using a collection of videos that Auder had created over the previous 40 years, in combination with original present-day footage of Auder shot by Neel, the two filmmakers made a feature-length film loosely based on the story of Auder’s life.

Auder created a form of video diary, starting with his first Sony Portapak camera in 1969, documenting the people, places, and events in his life, which included marriages to Viva Superstar and Cindy Sherman, and a loose affiliation with the Warhol Factory. The film is shot in New York City, and islands in the South Pacific.

The Feature is not a biographical film. Although the narrative is linear, footage from various periods in Auder’s life is used throughout the film. The story is augmented with satirical sit-down interviews of Auder in the present day, and biographical information (both fictional and real) is integrated into the hyper-theatrical scenes shot by Neel.

"Stoned for 40 Years", c’est ainsi que Cloud Rock La Belle intitule sa vie. Dans sa vie, il n’y a que deux choses auxquelles Cloud a été fidèle: la drogue et le vélo. Et voilà que son fils Kaleo La Belle lui lance un défi: lors de leur excursion en vélo à travers l’état de l’Oregon, ce père excentrique devra affronter les questions que son fils lui posera. En effet, au cours de ce périple, Kaleo cherchera les réponses à cette relation père-fils peu commune et s’efforcera de résoudre la question de savoir dans quelle mesure le concept de liberté prôné par le mouvement hippie peut tenir la route.

The filmmaker finds himself in frequent conflict with his son, who is no longer the delightful child the father loved, but an argumentative young adult who inhabits virtual worlds available through the internet. To the father, the son seems to be addicted to and permanently distracted by those worlds. The filmmaker undertakes a journey to St. Quay-Portrieux in Brittany where he worked for a spring as a wedding photographer’s assistant at age 24 –slightly older than his son is now. He has not been back to St. Quay since that visit, and hopes to gain some perspective on what his own life was like when he was his son’s age. He also hopes to track down his former employer, a fascinating Frenchman named Maurice, and Maud, a woman with whom he was romantically involved during that spring 38 years ago. Photographic Memory is a meditation on the passing of time, the praxis of photography and film, digital versus analog, and the fractured love of a father for his son.
