| Hauptpreis des Planete Doc Film Festival in Warschau an Nikolaus Geyrhalter Warschau (geyrhalter) - ABENDLAND, der neue Dokumentarfilm von Nikolaus Geyrhalter, wurde beim Planete Doc Film Festival in Warschau mit dem Hauptpreis "Millenium Award" "für den aussergewöhnlichsten Kinodokumentarfilm des letzten Jahres weltweit" ausgezeichnet. Darüberhinaus erhielt der Film noch eine lobende Erwähnung für den "Canon Cinematography Award" in der Kategorie "Beste Kamera". Die Begründung der Jury: "Showing the underbelly of civilization as seen at night, Occident is a powerful indictment done with Nikolaus Geyrhalter's unique flair for composition and pacing. Occident's more common title, Abendland, means "the west" in German, or literally "evening land." As seen in "Our Daily Bread," his earlier film about industrialized agriculture, Geyerhalter applies a cold, clinical, and quite sharp critique of the extraordinary and unsustainable amount of technology, security and other means that maintain European cities -- from the high fences and constant patrols that keep Africans from getting into Spain to the simulated police trainings. Memorable vignettes throughout including a police crackdown on nuclear activists attempting to block a train car of nuclear waste, a mega-rave, a pornography shoot, a mail sorting facility, and much more. There are occasional lighthearted moments that crop up in this thorough indictment of "progress" and "modernity," all done without narration. What's remarkable is that Geyerhalter's distinctive voice and touch come through undiluted. Geyerhalter allows us to crawl down the manhole of the modern world to see what allows everything above ground to exist." ABENDLAND läuft derzeit im Kino: täglich im Filmhaus Kino Spitttelberg u.a. |
