82 Square Meters (82 Quadratmeter) / Dominik Hafenmaier, Elena
Schilling / Germany / 2018 / 0:30:00
Three rooms, 82 square meters, a bright yet old apartment in East
Stuttgart. The broker Lúcia Delgado dos Santos would like to take a
closer look at the three applicant parties: The divorced young Karl
Zumbrock and his son Linus are looking for a new home where the father
can also pursue his new coaching business. The young couple Fiona and
Marie have already been looking for a long time too and suspect
discrimination as a reason for all previous cancellations. And the
single Hilde is looking for more space to spend her illness-related
early retirement under better conditions. We accompanied these people
during the visit of this apartment. Who will be able to convince the
broker?

Position Reports (Kursmeldungen) / Rainer Kommerz / Deutschland / 2017 / 0:30:00
A whistling fence, tamed landscape: people, couples, animals, plants,
machines, moving and waiting. Water, fire, earth, wind, the stars. A
white dog bites hard straw, the white machine eats soft chalk. Pilots
coming and going, a screaming roller coaster, fugue by Bach, fingers
writing into the water: "We are alone."
"Kursmeldungen - Position Reports" is an essayistic journey through
close-to-nature coastlines and places, which are shaped by both
closeness to the earth and cosmopolitism, and their response to a
world moved by antagonistic tempos.
Northern Germany’s coastal landscapes juxtapose industrial and urban
aesthetics in relation to man and nature in this expansive, cinematic
film. Position Reports conveys, in a very sensory way, just how
differently »time« is lived and experienced across all forms of life.
