Whether they've offered unconditional support or caused lifelong traumas, families are a recurring source of inspiration for filmmakers. This heartwarming and sometimes bittersweet programme gathers childhood memories, heartfelt conversations and messages to the next generation. A selection of animation and live-action films, all inspired by (and sometimes featuring) the filmmakers' relatives. Includes a proud dad and his muscly son (Strong Son), the truth about young mothers (Postpartum), and a headstrong, big-mouthed Korean divorcee (Tiger and Ox). To watch on your own (if you have this luxury) or with your folks to spice up the Sunday roast.
Total running time: 54 mins
CAST YOUR VOTE ! These films are eligible for the audience award, as well as the Best Short and WTF awards, given out by our jury.

BONUS FEATURES:
The joy of motherhood: a response to Henriette Rietz's Postpartum.
Fritz detests change. Despite challenges posed by price dumping, droughts and digitalisation, he keeps running his small farm as he always has. Unless Fritz, his daughter Amelie doesn’t want to accept the status quo and tries to improve the financial situation of the farm. In search of a second source of income, she begins selling stock footage video clips of everyday farming life. Even though her dad, brother and sister-in law are not exactly fond of cameras, production starts smoothly. But just when things are looking up, the family comes to realize: no matter where, if online or offline, it’s invariably business according to someone else’s terms and conditions.
This film is only available to viewers in the UK and Northern Ireland.
