Overview
"How isolated can we feel in a foreign country? How much do we feel the need to constantly stay connected with our family? And how do we cope with the fear of losing the traditions transmitted by our loved ones? Working with a collection of Home movies filmed by my grandfather from his time in Morocco, and a series of recordings of conversations I've had with my grandmother, Call Home reflects on the preservation and transmission of the memory taking the form of a visual poem." -- Abstract
