The Entertainer

The Entertainer is research into my own recorded childhood from a 3rd person perspective. An archive of unseen videos depicting someone I recognize but never understood, somebody that I wanted to resurrect while also burying it back in my memories. It is much more than looking at home videos, the investigation touches on the condition of “The Entertainer”, a syndrome of my generation that constantly had a phone-camera at hand.
Consequently, growing up as a girl in my family, in the church, and in Eastern Europe influenced the type of person I was in real life, and on-screen, making me who I am today. It is a film about one personal story, yet so generally applicable to numerous lives of young adults today. With this film I wanted to transmit a message to my generation; the generation of home vloggers, skit-makers that grew up on Youtube: If we want to understand our present-self, we have to make peace with our past selves.
