At Home But Not at Home

About This Movie

At Home But Not at Home is a fascinating exploration of personal and collective memory through the lens of Sanzgiri's family history. The film weaves together different formats—like 16mm film, drone shots, and even digital screenshots—creating a unique tapestry that reflects on identity against the backdrop of Goa's colonial past. Sanzgiri’s interviews with his father feel intimate, sometimes raw, giving a sense of distance despite being physically close. The pacing allows you to marinate in the visuals and narratives, challenging the viewer to ponder how memories shape our understanding of home. It’s distinctive in its multi-layered approach to storytelling, blurring the lines between documentary and personal essay.
