You Are in My Story

Documentary in co-creation

Artist residence, documentary, 29 minutes,2023

As part of an artist-in-residence program, documentary filmmaker Floor Hofman spent several months within a close-knit community for people with developmental disabilities. During her stay, Floor provided residents with cameras to capture moments in their daily lives, with the intention of getting to know their view of the world. She also conducted interviews with residents, parents, and caretakers, gathering diverse perspectives to help in understanding the meaning of the residents' recorded moments. This collaborative project led Floor, along with the caretakers and parents, to rethink their expectations. The resulting documentary, ‘You Are in My Story,’ portrays this process, incorporating footage filmed by the residents themselves. Through their recordings, viewers are invited into a world where vulnerability and resilience intertwine.
