Synopsis:
"Family Portraits" is a playful and whimsical experiment in documentary form with a roster of deeply expressive kids powering its creative engine. It helps viewers find new ways to imagine how both families and films can be made, unmade, and remade with all kinds of unexpected elements. By communicating with the inner child in all of us, the film compels viewers to remember themselves as figures drawn into a sprawling web of relationships and care that extends way beyond the confines of the nuclear family.
