Grandma's Grammar  

Open City Documentary Film Festival

London, April 2024.

Five screening programme, thirteen films. 

​

Grandma’s Grammar traces the persistence of the

figure of the grandmother as locus of feminist historicity

in non-fiction film, considering the grandmother as cinematic medium and privileged subject for modelling alternative modes of storytelling, inter-generational genealogies, and archives of memory and lived

experience. Drawing together works by Jean-Pierre

Bekolo, Tânia Dinis, Katsuhiko Fukuda, Barbara Hammer, Utako Koguchi, Cecilia Mangini, Gunvor Nelson, Margaret Rorison, Chiemi Shimada, Emilija ŠkarnulytÄ—, Khady & Mariama Sylla and Naomi Uman, the grandmother

comes into view as nexus and prism of cinematic possibility, sodality and solidarity, and an ethics of kinship within, and beyond, relation.
