The Boundaries of Cinema

It is getting more and more difficult to recognise the different genres of film. Documentary film changes fast and dynamically, more and more frequently reaching for feature, animation, video-art, and other forms of expression. The Boundaries of Cinema thus presents related forms (eg. doc art), the formal explorations of the young generation (the Young Guns, works of the Art Academy in Szczecin), and even experimental film forms, which have a growing influence on world cinema (Crossing the Boundaries).

  • Idée Fixe02'' infinite loop
    Idée Fixe
    Production: 2011

    In 60-Seconds, a man walks in a circle, the circumference of which takes him 60 seconds to traverse. His first and last steps align perfectly so that there is no interruption as the film transitions from its last frame back to its first. Idée Fixe is a 2 second video loop in which the same train car progresses across the screen ad infinitum. Neither video has a defined beginning or end, and both are intended to be projected as endless loops.

  • My Name is Salt92'

    My Name is Salt
    Production: CHE/IND 2013

    The desert extends endlessly – flat, grey, relentless. There is not a tree or blade of grass or rock. But there is one thing in abundance: salt. Salt is everywhere, lying just beneath the cracked, baked surface of the earth. This is the Little Rann of Kutch, 5000 sq kms of saline desert in India. And for eight months of the year, Chhanabhai and his family live here without water, electricity or provisions – tirelessly extracting salt from this desolate landscape. Under the blinding glare of the sun, they work on the salt fields until large crystals have formed. After months of hard work, the salt is ready to be harvested - just before the heavy monsoon rains will come to once again wash their salt fields away.

  • Raoul Wallenberg61'
    Raoul Wallenberg
    Production: 2014
     
    An incredible – and, simultaneously, typical for many 20th century European citizens – story of Raoul Wallenberg, Swedish diplomat who, together with other employees of the Swedish embassy in Budapest, saved about 100 thousand Hungarian Jews from extermination. Ten thousand Hungarians were given Swedish passports, several hundred were employed in the embassy and accommodated in houses with political immunity. In January 1945 Wallenberg was arrested by the NKVD and accused of spying for the USA. The film tells his story, and the history of Nazi and Soviet crimes in an original, experimental form.
