Sarah Miles' 2001 - A Family Odyssey Ophelia's Version is a poetic experimental film exploring the hidden systemic powers of identification within a family constellation through four generations. Ancestors haunt the landscape like screen memories and family members collaborate to perform aspects of themselves. A collage of family album; the filmmaker's father's photographic archive; Hollywood narratives including Apocalypse Now, Badlands and Breakfast at Tiffany's reflect a complex layering of narratives.
