Film Talk with Jan Peters, Director of EIGENTLICH EIGENTLICH JANUAR

Moderation: Ina Bormann

EIGENTLICH EIGENTLICH JANUAR, DE 2022, Jan Peters

Turn on the camera and go for it. Or is it finely planned? 3-minute reels of exposed film material. Textured flickering images. A train of thought without pause for breath. Whispering that breaks off at an inopportune moment. Collected photos, rearranged, relate simple everyday and major political matters – and it’s the images themselves that are important. A film to be seen over and over again.
