Italien (1999)

Overview

A film about a trip to Italy with three other filmmakers (Bernhard Schreiner, Georg Wasner, Alina Grumiller) that is presented primarily as a filmed diary: drinking, filming... With the editing, I tried to create a continuity of movement in space and time, letting one person, Florence for example, make a gesture or movement somewhere and letting someone else continue it in Monterchi or Arezzo. The soundtrack is constructed in the same way, in order to comment on the scenes but also to connect them through acoustic associations. My intention was to use editing to transcend the rather unspectacular nature of the shots. Even though the film is often perceived as a little "bohemian," it deals above all with inner doubt.
