Family White Elephants
WORLD PREMIERE, Cinema Columbus Film Festival (2024)
Family White Elephants explores the two sides of her family tree, a trove of inherited possessions, and a pre-occupation with death, all of which have informed her artistic practice. Bole takes a historian’s interest in her family’s storied genealogy, which includes industrial titans like Carnegie and Rockefeller on one side and Eastern European immigrants on the other.
Locally produced in Columbus.
