Life Will Give You Pictures

Director: Aldine Reinink
An Antwerp mansion contains an archive of three generations of famous Belgian photographers. The pictures provide an iconic glimpse of the history and the eternal struggle between fathers and sons.
The Belgian photographer Herman Selleslags wanders through his past accumulated in his house in the form of a gigantic and chaotic archive. This archive also comprises photographic work from his father Rik and his son Jan. In this documentary, the iconic collection tells the story of an exceptional photographer, who made a musical and social portrait of a period of over seventy years. But at the same time the walls of the majestic house in Antwerp hide a complex, double father-son relationship that holds this family of photographers in its grip.
