A Voyage of Discovery to Tarakan is this deeply personal documentary by Karel Doing, a real exploration of memory and loss. It’s not flashy—more of a somber, reflective piece that feels almost like a diary. The pacing is contemplative, allowing us to linger on the locations that tell stories of the past, like the harbors in Amsterdam and Genoa, which serve as anchors to the narrative. Doing's journey retraces the steps of his uncle who met a tragic fate, and you can feel the weight of that history in every frame. There's a rawness to the atmosphere, a sense of haunting beauty, and the practical effects lie in the way real places evoke real emotions. It’s distinctive for its quietness amidst the often bombastic world of documentaries.
