Familiar Archaeologies

Archeologie Familiari

ITALY / 15 MIN. / 2026 / DOCUMENTARY / DCP / 1.85:1 / STEREO / COLOR

“Familiar Archaeologies” digs into universal memory and identity. A trace left open by time that transcends the personal experience. Through family videotapes, stolen footage, and images of the present, it stitches together memory, bonds, and the relationship with oneself. Am I getting old? Yes. Shit.
L’“archeologia familiare” è un’indagine universale sulla memoria e sull’identità. Una traccia lasciata aperta dal tempo che trascende l’esperienza personale. Tra videocassette di famiglia, riprese rubate e immagini del presente, ricuce la memoria, i legami e il rapporto con sé stessi. Sto invecchiando? Sì. Merda.
