Working from a few oral stories, told in bits and pieces to him as a child, the artist, attempts to understand the life of a grandfather he never new. "I felt the only way to understand his life was to create a unique cinematic story using only Internet research tools, found footage and video game footage to weave a biographically real snapshot of his life."
The result is a stirring poetic reverie on my grandfather’s life in Germany
from World War I, when he served alongside a young Adolf Hitler, and the
rise of Hitler and the Nazis in the run-up to World War II. It’s a 32-minute
tour de force that approaches history from a deeply personal perspective..
