Our Family Album

Filmmakers Maria Threese Serana and Charles Musser move back and forth between two countries - the Philippines and the United States - whose relationship was forged by war and a half century of colonization. Their lives between two cultures is documented through a family album. This intimate portrait moves outward to engage scholars, archivists, and filmmakers on the nature of family photography and how they deploy and use their personal and professional lives. The documentary is a reflection on the construction, nature and meaning of family photography.
