Made for your memories
The Buttons from the Old Button Tin
Every single button has a story.
You bring the people, pictures and memories. Videomento places them into the chosen film story and carries them towards its personal high point and ending.

How this story feels
A memorial film about the button tin of someone who has passed away. Many of the buttons belong to a piece of clothing and a story, and your old photos show them.
Your film story
The button tin is opened. Next to the first button lies an old photo of the matching garment, and today someone sews a button onto their own jacket.
Other family members add their buttons. Together you lay them out in a circle on the table, leaving a free space in the middle.
At the end the buttons go into little cloth bags and are kept safe.
