2 Home-Movies 2009

Directed by Masha Godovannaya

Nearly all of us have shot home movies: on film, on video tape, or using the digital cameras built in to our mobile phones. We have filmed our children, family celebrations, or holidays. Now, imagine how a home-movie might look like if it were shot in the Warsaw Ghetto at the beginning of the 1940s by a German worker on vacation… 2 home-movies invites the viewer to look again at historically charged material from a different perspective and to think about our desire to pick-up a camera to record disasters.
