Familiar Memories (Pol Merchan)

Synopsis

This reconstruction of a family archive through fragmentary and disturbing memories comes close to the limit of what we classify as fiction.

Bio/Filmo

Pol Merchan has an MA from the Universität der Künste, Berlin, and a BA from the Universitat de Barcelona. His work—which has travelled to numerous exhibitions and festivals—uses biographical narratives and storytelling to explore binary concepts such as private/public, true/false, visible/invisible, secrecy/disclosure and fiction/reality.
