Region

Geographically, the word Region defines the "opposite area" - with this physical separation from the viewing subject, the word "region" is thus also always inherently foreign. Experimental film has a long tradition of dealing with landscape in a wide variety of aesthetic approaches. In the present films, too, (rural) areas are created, experienced, constructed and deconstructed using cinematographic means, or the landscape sometimes becomes a backdrop and space for performative inscriptions. The (audio)visual frenzy that sometimes sets in is a thoroughly desirable sensory experience. (Gerald Weber)
