Planetario

2011

A quietly unsettling look at how parents shape and perform their children's lives, leaving you to ponder the ethics of memory and control.

Directed by
Baltazar Tokman
Genres
Documentary
Starring
Heather Dawn Martin, Anton Artemovich Konyukhov, Kamod Kumar
Overview
Six families from different parts of the world have something in common: the parents have been filming their children obsessively since the day they were born. The director of this documentary contacted them to ask them to continue doing so, but following his guidelines. In these private worlds, children grow up being molded and defined by adults. Parents proudly show off the “good work” they have done with their children, while futilely attempting to capture time.
