My Dad’s Lessons

July 3 / 9 p.m

This documentary film was created after the death of the author’s father, who recorded his life and everyday life with a camera for decades. After finding his numerous tapes that he never labeled, edited or watched, the author embarks on a cinematic and personal journey of rediscovering who he was. Looking at recordings of moments she did not witness and recalling her growing up and her family’s coexistence with the camera that was Dad’s tool, a selected type of diary recording and an extended hand, the author gets to know him in different life roles, times and parts of the world.
