My Dad's Lessons

This film was made in memory of the author's father, who devoted much of his life to recording the world around him. Discovering a multitude of unmarked, unedited, and unseen tapes belonging to her father, the author begins a personal and cinematic odyssey to unveil the real man behind the recordings. By viewing videos of the moments she didn't witness, reflecting on her childhood and her family's relationship with the camera — her father's tool, diary method, and preferred means of expression — the author gains insight into his diverse roles across various times and corners of the world.
