MISCELLANEOUS

My grand father was a banker all his life, but few years before he passed away he started drawing some caricatures copied from news papers. He also has a passion in history and Russian Revolution, so I decided to spend one afternoon and film him drawing one of his idols. 

I consider this short piece a hybrid between documentary and fiction. It is documentary because most of the footage is a “perfect” portrait of my grandfather, capturing moments of his daily life. At the same time I think it is fiction because I directed him in some actions, trying to shape it into a standard short-film language.
