Tarnation
Your greatest creation is the life you lead
Directed by Jonathan Caouette
Produced by Wellspring Media
A raw, formally experimental documentary collage that excavates decades of family trauma, mental illness, and survival through fragmented personal archives.
Filmmaker Jonathan Caouette's documentary on growing up with his schizophrenic mother -- a mixture of snapshots, Super-8, answering machine messages, video diaries, early short films, and more -- culled from 19 years of his life.
