Synopsis
Where or what is home? Memories, photos, places? Or is it one’s personal roots, one’s own parents who define home? Can it be found in art? heimatfilm revolves around the term in a montage of personal signatures in which various ideas of home are exposed. Physically touching and intellectually complex, the search for home is tangible as an existentially exhausting process — the longing to say “I am …” using artistic means.Diagonale
Director's statement
Heimatfilm, that’s 18 years of Guerilla-filmmaking. Heimatfilm is a résumé and summary of my filmmaking, also a pause to maybe find another direction. Heimatfilm is also a break, to follow a desire for „Live“-experiences, to realise theater projects again. And last, but not least: home as film – film as home … to be continued.
„A bright and calm movie film, where laughing and melancholy are interweaved like past and present.“
Michael Omasta, March 2016, Falter
“There was also briliant new stuff from Ludwig Wüst to watch, a full-length work of documentarism and fiction.“
Stefan Grissemann, March 2016, Profil
“Accattone in Austria: the film making as maltreated creature, grinded between artistic claims and trivial reality, turing the pages in the folder of his obsessions.”
