Home Movie Reconstructions From Elliot Malkin

Elliot Malkin has created a short film he has titled “Family Movie” in which he takes all original super8 footage recorded 30 years from his childhood and recreates it with todays technology. All of the original footage was shot by his parents Leonard and Roberta Malkin at their home in Lincolnwood, Illinois and what used to be the Marco Polo Hotel in Miami Beach.

He’s taken the original video and recreated it with his parents help, which he them combined and placed side-by-side for comparison. These reconstructions are great to watch. The silence almost makes it feel like some sort of horror movie clip or a sad story on 20/20.
