This part of ‘’My Sweet Elora’’  uses fragments of family Vhs-tapes in combination with scenes from Dr Zhivago (1967, David Lean). My grandfather’s favourite film. He even named my father after a character in the film. 

‘’The life of a Russian physician and poet who, although married to another, falls in love with a political activist's wife and experiences hardship during World War I and then the October Revolution‘’

These video’s are audio reactive to my grandfather’s voice that’s singing a love song. (before the next teardrop falls 1974, Freddy Fender); Emphasizing his lasting impact that lingers today.
