In Production II
Saving The Greats for last (for part I of this series, see previous article below): Ulrich Seidl* is working on two projects. The documentary IM KELLER, started three years ago, deals with Austrians‘ strange relationship with their basements. I shudder to think what it will unearth. And together with curator and wife Veronika Franz he is planning the horror film ICH SEH/ICH SEH for 2014: When a mother “comes home after cosmetic surgery entirely bandaged, nothing is like it was before,” as the producer’s announcement goes. Some might claim most of his films are horror films one way or another (I am still somewhat sick from his 2001 DOG DAYS, but no regrets!).The Goethe-Institut has many times and across the globe --in Toronto in 2007-- shown Edgar Reitz' 3-day made-for-TV labour of love HEIMAT, a German chronicle of the 20th century as seen from the perspective of the fictional but authentic German village of Schabbach. The 80-year-old pioneer of the Oberhausen Manifesto is now back on the big screen. DIE ANDERE HEIMAT*, starring Werner Herzog, in theatres 3 October, jumps back to the mid-19th century and includes a story of emigration. Heimatfilm reimagined. Here's a German news report visiting the set of the latest, fourth part of the project.

“I’m not a missionary. I don’t make films to have a message. I make films about people that I like or that interest me. But if there’s a message in this film, it’s that you should think for yourself, don’t follow an ideology or a fashion. Hannah called this ‘thinking without banisters.’ ”
Margarethe von Trotta in the New York Times
