Die Illusion von Wirklichkeit |
|
Werner Biedermann
Germany
2013 | 0:05:00
The found-footage-film 'The Illusion of Reality' detaches movie images from their original semantic context and arranges them in a new one. Memories of other movies and the possibilities of film montage lead the viewer’s fantasies into a realm of déjà-vu he trusts - but which at the same time he perceives as both alien and new. Cinema, art, dance and sports, as well as detached views at these worlds, are some of the subjects in this patchwork-parcours through film history
