Family Viewing
“Some things possess you at the strangest times”
Drama
An emotionally constrained view of the displacement of human feelings in our video saturated society. Van regularly visits his grandmother in a run-down nursing home. His father depends on phone sex for guidance meanwhile erasing family homevideos of happier times with homemade pornography. Will Van rescue his grandmother and memories of his mother in time?
VIBE
This film feels like a hazy, unsettling memory. It's a quiet, melancholic exploration of fractured family dynamics and the erosion of genuine connection in a world increasingly mediated by screens. A bleak, yet strangely compelling, character study.
