Ancestry commemorates VE Day through this documentary-style archival project, which synthesizes historical materials to highlight individual wartime contributions. The film weaves together vintage black-and-white photographs, authentic newspaper clippings, and period documents to illustrate personal family histories.
Utilizing a monochromatic palette and slow motion sequences, the work leans into an analogue aesthetic to evoke a sense of heritage. The vertical format is paired with modern text overlays that ground the archival imagery in a contemporary discovery context.
