Family Archives

Abstract

We talk to people who have inherited boxes and suitcases crammed full of photographs, albums, diaries, letters, passports, and paperwork to find out what it means to be the keeper of a family archive and make meaning from its contents. The film not only shows how these objects can help us see the world through our ancestors’ eyes, and share their feelings and worries, they provide powerful and sometimes troubling insights into a nation’s history and who it includes in its notions of citizenship. With Katie Barclay, Fiona Rew, Sheila Williams, and Kathryn Beatham.
