Niemandsland

The wanderings on October 3rd, 1995, provide insight into the most varied of events, as they listen to chance passers-by, capture graffiti on film, and time and again find themselves drawn to Charly, an independent-minded individual who lives a life free from social compulsion: he lives self-sufficiently in the no man's land that constitutes the inner German border.

Indeed the film functions well without commentary, the footage and sound collages themselves sufficient in inviting viewers to make their own conclusions. A surprising find that deserves to reach a wider audience. KF
