Abstract: Devised as the written theoretical framework for the essay film Home, revised, this dissertation reflects on the home movie as an archival image, tracing its transformation from stand-alone object for private consumption as it is repurposed and appropriated within cinema. Based on the testimonies of filmmakers who have reused archival images in their work, this piece examines both the genesis of the archival image within the larger context of the archive and the particularities of the home movie image as a visual element, paving the way for a reflection on the challenges of visual archival appropriation within practices of filmmaking. It also provides a memoir for the production process of the above-mentioned film.
