In this thesis I explore more deeply the topic from my bachelor diploma thesis ?Archiving Family Film?. Through an analysis of family film from the thirties to the present day, I want to draw attention to this distinctive form of amateur filmmaking which is overlooked today. Above all I want to focus on the filmmakers Peter Forgács and Jan Šikl. I explore their different approaches and points of view, and their use of archive family footage in their documentary works ?Private Hungary? and ?Private Century?. By comparing films from these documentary cycles, I point out what makes the works of these two directors unique. I also elaborate on my work with family archive footage in my film ?Sestření? (?Sistering? - 2nd year exercise ? authorial portrait), and I reflect on the approach that I adopted when shooting my bachelor?s diploma film, ?Roots of Relationship or How Granddaughter and Grandmother couldn?t get the Turnip out.? I explain my use of methods taken from family footage in my work as a documentary filmmaker, and discuss my personal experience and achievements in this field.
