Parents (Mother/Father)

Overview

In this work the situation of shooting film as experienced by the subject and filmmaker is most clearly visible in the loving and then hurt facial expression of the mother, who in the end disregards the filmmaker´s instruction and disappears from the picture. The variety in the characters´ reactions is made apparent by the way the father, who doesn´t show his feelings, "sticks it out." While this is happening the viewer is left to deal with this discomfort by him or herself.

Directed by Friedl vom Gröller
