In this article, I discuss the three experimental autobiographical films that Stephen Dwoskin made between 1994 and 2003: Trying to Kiss the Moon (1994), Some Friends (Apart) (2002), and Francis in Memorium (2003). I first met Dwoskin at the Royal College of Art (RCA) film school in London, England, where I was a student in the 1970s and he was a part-time tutor. We were both Jewish with very different personal histories and experiences, but after I left the RCA, he became a close personal friend. As a disabled American expatriate, he spent most of his adult life looking at the world through a camera lens, filming his friends and lovers, and building an archive of footage that form part of these films supplemented by the extensive home movie footage filmed by his father Henry Dwoskin, a carpenter. My analysis of his films is therefore colored by my own personal recollections of him
