Lunch with Granny

In documentary video form, through the grandmother's portrait, Lunch with Grandma builds a portrait of a women born in the first half of the past century. Through the grandmother's family album, author is bringing to the spotlight women's interpretation of public and private sphere coming together, encroaching at the same time into history of her everyday life through ritual activity – preparation of lunch. Family (photo) albums are spaces of our hidden past; once opened, they reveal ways of archiving memories while scoring events on the back of the photographs (or in accompanying notes), not necessarily connected with personal moments captured in frame.
