Home (2009)

Armed with an ancient Hi-8 video camera (with broken microphone) and a decrepit Super-8 film camera, filmmaker Broderick Fox travels between Berlin and Los Angeles with his German partner, on an autobiographical search for home and for himself. Years later, Fox pulls these tapes and reels of footage out of a drawer and crafts this documentary-an ode to Berlin, a coming of age story, and a tribute to first love in equal parts. Fox was compelled to create home in the wake of the 2008 passage of Proposition 8 in California, banning recognition of gay marriage.
