A selection of home movie reconstructions from my short film Family Movie, documenting a 30 year gap at my parents’ home in Lincolnwood, Illinois, including a visit to the (now former) Marco Polo Hotel in Miami Beach. Featuring my parents Leonard and Roberta Malkin, and a cameo by my older brother Benjamin Malkin. All original super8 footage shot by my parents.
