Wolfsjagd (2023)

Das bleibt unter uns

Fil, Fond, Fosfor

Strung together with a series of separate scenes, this film has only one focus and that is the brief period of adjustment when a young student arrives at school, fixes up his room, writes letters to his girlfriend, meets her many times in his room, and then brings a horse into his room. There seems to be no special point to these 90 minutes of sequences, and even the horse seems to wonder what he is doing there.

Terra Nullius or: How to Be a Nationalist

Even uninhabited archipelagos may be subject to drawn out territorial disputes if they are rich in oil deposits. However, the filmmaker is more concerned with how ownership issues reverberate amongst nationalists in competing countries rather than in the history of the dispute or its resolution, making it possible to present the patriotic pathos-soaked ceremonies of the Japanese, the efforts of Chinese authorities to complicate diversionary activities, and the expressive protests and bizarre rituals of Taiwanese activists. The desire to understand the situation leads the director to participate in several futile attempts to land on the islands. Although he finds himself on the frontline during an escalation in the conflict, he is able to maintain his distance as an impartial observer.
