GRANDAD WITH A MOVIE CAMERA

Documentary film - 26'
El Kinògraf for Paral.lel 40 and TV Catalunya, 2005

He could even film images from his childhood to tell his granddaughter about his past. Grandad with a movie camera is a family portrait based on Jaume's passion for filming everything around him and his fascination with this new means of expression. But, obviously, mastering a new skill has its technical problems...
