Part of summary taken from container
Family Album portrays the complex emotions a body of personal photographs can arouse in us. Set in Kolkata, the film documents and dramatises the imaginable worlds in and around assorted family albums, as family members reflect on the memories evoked by old photographs. Even as they hold their family albums as authentic summaries of kinship, they curiously examine them to make new discoveries. In the process, these keepers of personal photo archives become compelling storytellers as well as interrogators of their culture and history. Taking its cue from the narrators, both women and men, the film foregrounds stories of women, bringing them out of the shadows in which many lived their lives. In this way the story escapes the confines of the photograph and of individual memory.
Editing, Nishtha Jain ; Cenematography, Deepti Gupta ; Music, Debjyoti Mishra ; Commentary, Smriti Nevatia ; Sound, Goutam Nag, Gissy Michael.
In Bengali, Hindi, and English with English voice-over and subtitles.
