In the Tradition of My Family (14 min)
’In the Tradition of My Family is a gothic family saga. This seemingly
normal, middle-class family has a unique tradition. When a son
reaches his thirteenth birthday, his father wounds him with a gun,
honoring both the long-standing family tradition and the boy, who is
now a “new man.” The more dangerous the shooting and the more
ghastly the scar, the more the recipient is honored by the family. That
is, if he actually survives his wound. The film follows a young boy
named Billy as he prepares for and experiences his new man ritual. In
the Tradition of My Family examines what happens when these
concepts of tradition and honor are questioned and the effect this has
on the father’s relationship with his son.
