A Home Made Strange

A short film about life with an acquired brain injury. This was my final project for my Master's in Visual Anthropology at the Granada Centre for Visual Anthropology.
Ian Duffy, my father, suffered two brain haemorrhage's in 2012, and now faces long-term neurological problems related to speech, memory, comprehension and fatigue. In the film we explore how Ian makes sense of his new world with a brain injury.
