In the context of the project „Terms and Conditions“
Filmscreening and discussion REVISION
Guest: Filmmaker Philip Scheffner (will be hosted online)
REVISION, 2016, 103 min
A documentary turns into a cinematic REVISION. Like a puzzle, the film puts together the facts around the death of two men on a field at the German-Polish border in 1992. Scheffner composes an increasingly disturbing pattern of landscape and memory, witness testimonies, documents and investigations.https://pong-berlin.de/de/project/film/revision
