Family Album (2011)

Family Album is about the complex emotions a body of personal photographs can arouse in us. Nishtha Jain documents and dramatises the imaginable worlds in and around assorted family albums. Set in Kolkata, it reveals how family members wonder, speculate and reflect on the unusual memories their family photographs have evoked in them. They hold their family albums as authentic summaries of kinship and curiously examine them to make surprising discoveries of themselves and their line of descent. Through their family albums, they become compelling storytellers of their culture and history.
