Families and our relationships within them are complicated. So too is our place within nature. Too often we take both for granted.
I spent a good part of this Mother’s Day, my first and hopefully only in a pandemic, taking apart and upgrading an old iMac with the hopes of returning to the film I had digitized from three generations of Wolfs and Gilberts.
Looking back on this last video I made, I finally understood why I chose today of all days to recommit to this work. Mom and I are seen at the end, at about the same age, 20+ years apart.
Single channel video using found family footage (16mm and 8mm) from 1937-1978; focusing on land use management, nature and play. 2:49 min.
