Amor Descartable

gisela / 2023/12/24

In the first found-footage film in the history of cinema, we may find the filmmaker’s great-grandfather, a deserter from the Russian Revolution. A century later, while rewatching her own home movies, shot in the ‘90s by her father and compiled on DVD, Azul discovers powerful fictions of a social class. Tracing the film scraps in dialogue with her hard-of-hearing mother, Azul wonders if it might be possible to twist that which has been inherited in pursuit of an emancipatory destiny.
