how we live now - messages to the family

HOW WE LIVE is a reflection about a film genre that presupposes seeing with one's own eyes (autopsy) – the home movie. The term home movie, taken literally, means films that deal with the home, the house, the apartment, a person's own surroundings. However, not the habitual but rather a new one, elsewhere, in a foreign country. Hence these are cinematic images made by people of their lives far from their homes for their family and friends at home – and beyond, and vice versa. From the early days of cinematography to the present.
