This film was made with a simple super 8 fixed focus camera by my daughter when she was 11/12 years old. With the transformation to digital video Daddy did some ( basic) editing.To sit and watch 8mm, Super-8 and 16mm other people'shome movies. Not your own home movies, That may sound like a pretty terrible way to spend an evening, but it is not. If you've had many painful moments watching home movies with people you know and love, so how is it you can enjoy a night of this with strangers?Home movies are part social commentary, part historical record and in a certain way, part artistic expression. No matter what family they document, old films are at the same time unfamiliar and entirely familiar. Moving pictures of strangers have an ability to evoke empathy, reveal the human condition, bring joy.... or maybe it's simply fun to laugh at others' embarrassing families instead of your own.
