Hey Mummy, we’re making a Movie

GER 1977, 21 min

Watching filmmaking through the lens of the camera.

Synopsis

A family man grabs aunts, uncles, relatives and friends to make a film with them. He wants to prove that he can do it better than the professionals from film and television. But things are getting out of hand. The filming degenerates into slapstick, the mum goes off the rails ending up in a barn. A short circuit makes the chaos complete. HEY MOMMY, WE’RE MAKING A MOVIE brimming with grotesque moments. In the slapstick the film finds its way to the roots of the cinema.
