Synopsis
Camouflage by Jonathan Hodgson explores the experience of the child growing up with a schizophrenic parent. Based on extensive research it compares a personal account with the experience of others, using interviews, drawings and animation, live action and digital composition.
The live action, shot on 16mm, is based on the director's own memories growing up with a schizophrenic parent. The animation is based on interviews with other people who had one or more schizophrenics in the family.
The interviewees were asked to describe what they remember of their thoughts and feelings at the time and how their perception of reality may have been distorted by what was going on.
