Opening Celebration - This is not a family album
You are invited to attend the opening celebration of This is not a
family album, an installation by Kathy Dudding.
This is not a family album is an installation which explores the
relationship between image and text. One group of monitors displays
images selected from home movies shot in the 1950-60s, while another
cluster relays short typewritten narratives. The home movies are
dreamscapes; happy images of happy families. Conversely, each of the
texts relate a traumatic event. The footage in This is not a family
album is drawn from Dudding’s own archive of found film, while some
films were purchased on the Trade Me website or in foreign locales
including a second-hand Catholic shop in Rome. The text has
previously been published as a piece of experimental writing in the
journal brief.
Saturday 11th August International Home Movie Day, 5.00pm KOHA
August 11 marks International Home Movie Day, an annual event started
in 2002 by a group of film archivists concerned about what would
happen to all the home movies shot on film during the 20th century.

Archive presents home movie treasures from it’s amateur collection,
a live soundtrack performance by DJ Alphabethead and a talk by NZFA
