The Marina Experiment (2009)

The Marina Experiment is the result of over 10000 photographs super 8 home footage and reel to reel audiotape interrogations that director Marina Lutzs father made of her during her upper class upbringing in 1960s and 1970s Manhattan A both eerie and infinitely fascinating archive that she herself has now sorted out and reassembled Her fathers transgressive voyeurism is turned against himself while a courageous self portrait simultaneously grows out of the almost incestuously intimate home movies The result is a family exposé that cant be shaken off that easily and which in an intelligent and absolutely unique way raises the question about the right to not be seen a question that has become even more relevant in the present day
