Séance
Innovative Cinema Short, DE 2009, Film 35mm, 9 min, dOFProgram: POSITION C. Hochhäusler Die Lügen der Sieger
In a matter-of-fact tone, the voiceover reports on humankind’s final days on Earth and the establishment of a colony on the moon. And, indeed, on the far side, “protected from the sight of the former homeland.” Created as part of the Deutschland 09, project, Séance is a meditation on the power of the images we carry within us: as a past that haunts us with personal, and also collective memories. A German dystopia.
