Sunshine
Directed by: Karen Skloss
Woven together from over 10 years of super 8 and video home movies, intimate family interviews, shimmering dance sequences and stylized reenactments filmmaker Karen Skloss explores the meaning of family. To understand both the legacy of Skloss birth and the non-traditional family she created by co-parenting with her ex-boyfriend. As an unwed teenager, Skloss' mother went to a home for unwed mothers and gave her up for adoption in 1975. Now as the pair reconnect Karen contemplates her relationship with her own daughter, Jasmine. Young, pregnant, single and unprepared, this director struggles with the incredible ironies of the familythat history somehow repeated itself, and that the most strenuous efforts to protect the idea of family can actually do the most to pull families apart.
