In The Archives, we want the viewer to believe in and care about the searchers for historical truth and the respective archivists and genealogists who help them not only to find the answers to their quests but to keep the truth alive for all of us. This intention will be honored with a vérité documentary approach to present all searchers who are looking for different answers in the archives, in their most authentic environments from North Carolina, to Vienna, and Rio de Janeiro. The Archives will give the viewer the sense that the documents and gravestones that preserve the history of the Holocaust are alive. Animations and illustrations will be paired with each search to give the viewers a deeply emotional connection to the searchers. Furthermore, the interventions by animations in The Archives allows them to “speak back at history” and restitute to them the symbolic meaning of some of their possessions and the memories of their loved ones.
