Annecy 2006

"Dreams and Desires – Family Ties"

"On acquiring a new digital video camera," characterizes the festival the award-winning Dreams and Desires - Family Ties by Joanna Quinn (UK), "Beryl becomes obsessed with the filmmaking process, using it to articulate her dreams and desires in a video diary. As "cinéaste par excellence" she agrees to video her friend Mandy's wedding, seizing the opportunity to imitate her filmmaking idols with disastrous and hilarious results."
