Film Talk with Martin Otter about FLOATING ISLANDS

Moderation: Moritz Holfelder


FLOATING ISLANDS, DE, CH 2023, Simone Fürbringer, Nicolas Humbert


“We are what we see and what we don’t see.” How did we get to
where we are now? What is lurking in this cinematic dragnet of
film fragments and somnambulistic snippets of the present day?
“The images help us to accept reality like a spoon helps us to
eat,” this extravagant stream of consciousness tells us. Curtain
up: open ending guaranteed.
