Synopsis
In this roadmovie about movies, veteran documentary filmmaker Peter Wintonick takes a film-trip across the world with Mira, his 20-year-old media-making daughter. They make a journey through film history and media's future, questioning how different generations view, use or make their own film, images, sound and media. From Fellini's hometown in Italy to Nuremberg where Leni Riefenstahl shot Triumph of the Will; from Chaplin's grave to Jean-Luc Godard's Swiss village; from blogging theorists in Vienna to next media artists at the Venice Biennale, PilgrIMAGE playfully mixes contemporary and historical cinematic sites with personal encounters and film-life lessons.
PilgrIMAGE is a trans-generational meditation on film and media. Mixing film clips with critical musings, equal parts verité film-journal, digital-diary and ciné-blog, the filmmakers meet several significant film "pilgrims" and media practitioners along their way. Through a series of father-daughter dialogues, the goal is to transfer a bit of crazy wisdom between generations. Between a distinguished filmmaker father from cinema's Generation Y (as in Why?) to a daughter of our current next-wave, now-media Generation D (as in Digital) era.
