Background



'Daughter' is the product of the director's longtime interest in psychology, relationships, and the lasting imprint of childhood experiences. The film tells a complicated story about the relationship between a father and his daughter. Kashcheeva invented hand held camera movement for her film, which was never used before in stop-motion.

Style



For Kashcheeva, part of the challenge of creating 'Daughter' stemmed from her desire to bring a dirty, imperfect, documentary feel to a stop-motion world. The aesthetic she aimed for was inspired, in part, by Dogme 95 and films by the Dardenne brothers.
