Moderation: Malte Borgmann
UMBERTO ECO – A LIBRARY OF THE WORLD, IT 2022, Davide Ferrario
“Without a memory it’s impossible to build a future.” The writer and philosopher Umberto Eco opens the doors to his private library – a memory bank. With interviews and tracking shots through libraries, the film approaches the fascination for the collection and collation of knowledge. The portrait shows Eco as an intelligent and self-deprecating man whose encyclopaedic hunger is infectious. Michael Kohl
