Stories We Tell Textual Analysis Thread

A place to discuss anything related to the VCE English text 'Stories We Tell' by Sarah Polley

Quote from: VCAA Text List Blurb
Polley, Sarah (director), Stories We Tell, 2012 (3)
Stories We Tell is actor Sarah Polley’s second film as director. The film won many documentary awards, including Best Documentary Screenplay from the Writers Guild of America.
Stories We Tell is an autobiographical documentary: Polley compiles interviews with many of her family members, narration from her father, and home video footage to create a chorus of voices as a means of investigating her family’s past. The film is an interrogation of history, and examines how stories can guide our memories, and whether one voice has a right to declare itself the truth. The layering of different documentary techniques allows students to investigate the role stories play in our lives, as well the conflicts around the truth of family secrets. (Rating: M) [/size]
