In the making since the director was 11-years-old and completed on a reported budget of about 200 dollars,
Jonathan Caouette's
Tarnation is an experimental and self-reflective mix of
documentary and fiction. Bringing together a collection of home movies, family photos, answering machine messages, reenactments and
Caouette's video diary, the film attempts to delve into the filmmaker's experiences growing up queer with a schizophrenic mother and dealing with her 2003 lithium overdose, which rendered her even more mentally unstable than before. After premiering at the
2003 New York Lesbian and Gay Film Festival,
Tarnation screened as part of the Frontier program at the
2004 Sundance Film Festival.
