“A Letter from My Father, 2017, 4:10
Synopsis:
“My father sent a mail posthumously confessing that he was not only the husband, the father of his children, but also the secret lover of a male partner. The video is reflecting gay life in an authoritarian system, this might be The 3rd Reich, the East German or any other dictatorship. The video footage refers to a forest near Kansk in Siberia, an area which was hosting one of Stalin’s Gulags, and some other footage refers to another location – the Rumbula Forest near Riga/Latvia and the massacre on the Jewish population 1941. The video is a plea for tolerance and the acceptance of the human individual’s multi-layered personality.
