Why family stories matter
Since 2013, I’ve filmed over a thousand family stories worldwide for international humanitarian organizations, including JDC and IFCJ.
Most were told by elderly people, and often my recordings became their only complete history. Looking back, I realize how many of those voices are now gone.
My grandmother and I, 1990 — one of the few photos of us together and one of my most cherished.
Family stories have always been deeply important to me. As a child, I loved listening to my grandmother’s memories, and I regret that no one recorded them. As soon as I learned documentary filmmaking, I started capturing my own family’s history — creating a WWII-memories family film and recording annual birthday interviews with my teenage daughter, a living time capsule of her voice, thoughts, and dreams.
In 2025, I finished a documentary about my father, who had passed away more than a decade earlier. I never recorded him while he was alive, and this taught me a powerful lesson: we often postpone capturing the voices and stories of those we love until it’s too late.
That’s why every family story I film feels meaningful. Someone’s unique life is preserved forever, ready to be shared—not just today, but for decades to come.
Your family’s story is precious. Let’s make sure it’s told while every voice can still be heard.
How it looks
My family films are private, made to be cherished within families. To see my storytelling approach, I invite you to watch a film I created about my father, artist Vyacheslav Shraga.
