Competition 4 reveals a series of dysfunctional families, portrayed by a diverse cross-section of filmmakers, each with their own artistic vocabulary to animate the family unit. We see grief, malice, love, indifference, and the inability to speak and be heard, yet remaining tethered to one another anyway. This accentuates the blurry line between the real and the imaginary, as memory undergoes a metamorphosis through time.
