Sinopses(1)
Familiar Phantoms is inspired by anecdotes from artist Larissa Sansour’s own family history and her old childhood home in Bethlehem, making it her most personal film to date. Combining live action scenes, Super 8 footage and private photos, the edit reconstructs the labour of memory, constantly revisiting the same imagery alongside new fragments in an existential search for meaning. The exploratory and contemplative camera moves around an abandoned mansion that serves as the seat of memory. Vignettes play in the rooms, adding a theatrical dimension to the work, just as memory is constantly reworking, amplifying, adding and subtracting. (CPH:DOX)
