Curator’s note

Blood, dinner tables and forgiveness

Family is where the biggest dramas hide in the smallest moments: a phone call, a shared meal, a glance across the kitchen. These films find them.

Frequently asked

What kind of films are in Family Ties?

Shorts about mothers, fathers, siblings, grandparents, the people we do not choose. Some are warm, some are difficult, all of them are honest.

How long is the collection?

Just over two hours for the whole collection. The order is our suggestion, but every film stands alone. Jump in anywhere.

Are these films heavy?

It is a mix: a few will put a lump in your throat, others are warm and funny. The film descriptions tell you which is which.

Is it free to watch?

Yes. Every film on Klipist is free to watch, in full, on any device. No account needed, though signing up lets you keep a watchlist.
