This collection of home movies by experimental filmmaker, video-diarist, and early-'70s Factory fixture Michel Auder represents a variety of different eras, mindsets, and family units in the artist's life. Shunting back and forth between some of the earliest footage Auder ever shot with a video camera to his marriage to Warhol star Viva and the birth of their child, Chronicles: Family Diary was, at first, merely fodder for some of Auder's other pieces, including gallery installations. Only in the late-'90s did it begin to be shown on its own.
