Alenka Maly, director and actress from Linz, took her own intensive "conversation relationship" with her grandmother as the starting point for her oral history film project The European Grandma Project. In 2015 she launched a Europe-wide call and found eight like-minded filmmakers, who created portraits of their grandmothers in Israel, Greece, Italy, Iceland, Bulgaria, Russia, England and Turkey. Almost all the grandmothers are over ninety years old; they recall anecdotes, love stories and tragedies as they go about their everyday activities, have their hair done, or rest - and all of that with captivating openness and subtle humor.
