Angela Summereder<\/strong>
\nB wie Bartleby<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
\nJury Statement:
\nThe film connects the personal with the collective and, with remarkable lightness, creates a generous cinematic space. The words from Melville\u2019s Bartleby, the Scrivener<\/em> \u2014 \u201cI would prefer not to\u201d \u2014 are cast in a new light through the conditions of our present.<\/p>\n
We see people speaking of refusal, yet through this film they become all the more visible. In its playful treatment of bodies, voices, and characters, the film shows that stories belong to no one, but can be passed on, left behind, and shared with one another.<\/p>\n
