Flood
(Flood)
Director Katy Scoggin returns to her childhood home, which was strongly influenced by her orthodoxly religious father. During a family move, the conflict between faith and science is reopened - along with the chance of not losing one another.
In boxes and on videotapes, family archives mingle with the present: a father’s certainty about a literal interpretation of the Bible, a daughter’s conviction about the evidence for evolution, and their mutual desire for closeness despite their differing views. This empathetic dive into one family’s history seeks to find bridges between clashing shores in an increasingly polarised age. In doing so, it enlists the help of the landscape of California’s Inland Empire and a mosaic of intimate memories, exploring different dimensions of time—from the personal experience of a moment to the biblical canon and fossils hidden in individual geological layers.
