A Family Affair - Opening film IDFA
Tom Fassaert's amazing ego documentary A Family Affair was the opening film at the IDFA documentary film festival. In the film Fassaert goes in search of the story behind his grandmother who uses a meticulously constructed façade to keep a firm grip on the lives of three generations.

Despite a number of technical challenges, the subtitles were finished within a week, just in time for the premiere at IDFA.
