In My Father’s House
NEW DOCS
A wonderful autobiography showing one woman’s rebellion against her very traditional Moroccan family. Full of surprises and lyrical beauty, the film undermines the rules the woman was raised with. The filmmaker moves from cinema-verité family clashes to impressionistic dream sequences to straightforward cultural documentation of a traditional Moroccan wedding. Multiple story lines are beautifully interwoven.
