After getting rejected from film festivals, a filmmaker reconstructs an old film into a magical-realist meditation on generational trauma and coping with demons of the past and present. Ten years in the making, Sean Wainsteim’s DEMON BOX is a semi-autobiographical documentary hybrid that tackles trauma, suicide, and the Holocaust in one of the most profoundly honest explorations of generational trauma to be put to film! – Vincenzo Nappi
