About this submission

I made this film to capture the power of connection, especially for those who struggle to communicate with their loved ones. My grandmother, Dadi, and I never shared a common language, but after my grandfather's passing, I realized I had many unanswered questions. Using Google Translate, I was able to have our first real conversation, uncovering her dreams and struggles. Filming it with both a camcorder and an iPhone, I wanted to reflect the evolving ways we connect, with the choppy, sometimes grainy footage symbolizing how, even when communication is imperfect, it can still hold deep meaning.
