7 Ways To Tell You About Him

7 Ways to Tell You About Him is a collaboration between a father and daughter that negotiates the interplay between family home movies with production footage to interrogate the similarities found within their cinematography.
The scripted narration presents 7 observations of my Dad's 8mm footage placed alongside my camera work to decipher more about him through his use of the camera and his cinematic eye. The minimal sound design provides a hint of mood - the voice narration was created to mimic performance to lend an ethereal quality to the read.

The film deals with the manipulation of history in the context of the reconstruction of the Berlin City Palace. Starting from the confusions surrounding an alledged proclamation of a socialist republic from one of its balconies in 1918, the film examines other political events that occurred on balconies. Reenactments of iconic political and cultural events on the original balcony raise questions about authenticity and manipulation.
Coffee was served with much splendor at the harems of the Ottoman palace and mansions. First, sweets (usually jam) was served on silverware, followed by coffee serving. The coffee jug would be placed in a sitil (brazier), which had three chains on its sides for carrying, had cinders in the middle, and was made of tombac, silver or brass. The sitil had a satin or silk cover embroidered with silver thread, tinsel, sequin or even pearls and diamonds.
