| Description |
What is it about home movie footage that feels so bittersweet? Home movies, while often funny, make us think about those we've lost in our lives, and the decisions we've made. We can see our parents and ourselves when we were young and beautiful, and without the patina of reality. These films range from deeply personal stories of failed or transformed love, to hilarious perspectives from different generations. While today's technology means that the incredibly beautiful home movies shot on Super-8 and Super-16 have all but disappeared, we are rewarded now with an incredible abundance of work, both grounded in the true, and floating in invented realities.
