Institute History
Description
Filmmaker Gordon Eriksen captures two young brothers, Ankh and Imra, purely and frankley with a camera organic to the boy’s intimate circle. Incredibly the entire Wallace family is completely at ease with the camera; it isn’t perceived as an intrusion, but just an appendage of Gordon, an extended-family member. What is captured is like a home movie that speaks of the exuberance of youth. But while some of Manchild’s imagery is celebratory, the stunningly evacotive music by Tony Silbert is the fulcrum for contrast, providing a compassionate voice signaling the impending loss of innocence.

While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
