My Family Archive
Rethinking the past - mixing up and blanking out - happens both to individuals and states. How much fake the story should be to become credible?This micro mockumentary uses a combination of pictures & drawings from the family archive dating to 1940-1950s and found footage related to WW2. Revealing a very personal research on the features of Soviet Era through the minor details - like homogenous haircuts or way that head scarfs are used - the scary routs of social dissolving.
