Soon

This film is about my experience as a child who survived war. The original footage is from Super-8mm film my father shot that was then transferred to a variety of video tapes and systems. I was interested in how those moving images mutate and glitch into their own form. This transformation is like the memory, the pain, and the history of trauma manifesting visually.
