Sam Klemke’s Time Machine

It's 2015. We have spaceships, artificial intelligence, and lots of gadgets that do things we never imagined possible. But there are still no time machines. Caricature artist Sam Klemke has inadvertently come close to making it a reality, but not in the way you'd think. Since 1977, Klemke has been obsessively filming his life, documenting the various phases he's experienced, from his highs to extreme lows. The footage reveals an intimate portrait of a man who's struggled with self-esteem, weight, work, depression, and love. Regardless of your life path, his journey is a relatable one. It's a raw look at life's challenges, unraveled in glimpses; the tapes readily available for future reflection. We often forget the small things in life, those fleeting moments that fade with time. We sometimes lose sight of our younger years and the hopes and dreams we once treasured. Those things are never forgotten in SAM KLEMKE'S TIME MACHINE, a documentary that's extremely beautiful in its honesty. It's also genius in its concept, revealing that with a video camera, we do indeed have the tools for time travel. (In English and French with subtitles) – E.F
