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.
Winners will be revealed at the Flatpack Awards on 30 May (free event, booking essential).
BONUS FEATURES:
The joy of motherhood: a response to Henriette Rietz's Postpartum.
This filmmaker’s mission to explore the emotional distance in her paternal relationship ends up driving her and her father even further apart. She uses stop motion to explore racial identity, family mythology and the nature of forgiveness.
