The Sound of the Safe

Program C

Days of youth left on video. Nostalgic photos. As I reminisce about the house where I spent 15 years of my girlhood, I have questions about the safe my father found when he rebuilt the house. He stubbornly refused to open it. My mother divorced that kind of father, and I interviewed her to paint a picture of my family from a different angle.

Director’s Statement

This is a very personal film using a model of my childhood house that I left after my parent’s divorce. With the model I was able to tell a story that happened to our family: the discovery of a safe. I tried to depict the passing of childhood and how people could be shaped by their family.
