Aged

Summary Self-appointed family chronicler Philip Hoffman documents his father's aging process. Images of this once-vital man as captured in the director's amateur images are confronted by scenes of a sick old man slowly awaiting death at the family cottage by the lake. This experimental film combines intimate home videos (ranging from the director's childhood all the way to the present as he cares for his incapacitated father) with unique impressions from the surrounding countryside that describe the transience of human life. Sounds of nature, such as water splashing on the lake's surface or birdcalls, underscore the grainy wordless images. View more details
