A Family Portrait
Directed by Shubham Sharma
Synopsis
“After finding a family portrait on my phone one evening in Germany, I felt a longing for my hometown. I wanted to make a film about it. But how can you talk about your family portrait without talking about the reality they inhabit? They’re the sum of the people and environment they come from. By using the archive footage from back home I wanted to take an audience on a journey where they’re introduced to my town, the people, the economy, the traffic, and my neighbourhood, all leading to my home where that family portrait exists.” – Shubham Sharma
