A female narrator (fellow artist Kathi Hofer) gives voice to this film, making it a reflection on the filmmaker’s life and journey through Europe (which began in the summer of 2019, before COVID-19). Spaces of association unfold, a train of thoughts. The boundaries between factual and memory blur. How much of personal history can be read more globally? Visual portraits of Europe’s remote places away from the typical tourist hotspots set the stage for this film. Landscapes in flux, images of movement that visually evoke long journeys on trains, ferries and public transportation. The underlying sound compositions by Dutch musician Machinefabriek evoke isolation and alienation, yet are conciliatory and warm.

The film will be shown at the Diagonale, the festival of Austrian film, as part of the short film program Innovatives Kino Programm 4 on two different dates. On the respective days there will be an artist talk with Cathrin Mayer (HALLE FÜR KUNST Steiermark) following the program.
