The Insides of Our Lives
Directed by: Misja Pekel
The Insides of Our Lives is a poetic blend of fiction and found footage. A selection of thousands of hours of found footage—mostly 8mm—chronicles the coming-of-age story of two girls growing up along a border in Europe, as the border gradually separates them. The story sensitively depicts what it means to grow up in a world where, one day, barriers appear, creating an “us” and a “them.” The film, though composed of footage from hundreds of different lives that were filmed, is crafted in such a way that it feels like the life of a single person.

“What fascinates me is that this process reveals that we are more connected than we think. We tend to film similar moments—weddings, visits to the zoo, vacations. When you juxtapose these amateur-filmed scenes, you realize how similar our lives are.”
