PROCEDERE
An archive cabinet in the Karlsruhe editorial office of the First German Television. It contains the same images for decades: raw material for edited news features on television. The reports are on the proceedings at the Federal Court of Justice. Images of the trial itself have to be missing, but the ban does not apply to the sidelines. The positions of the camera always stay the same; the cases are always different.
External view of Supreme Court, files are brought in, courtroom interior.
The antagonists, the eagle, laws, waiting.
The High Senate. Pan.
Break.
Interviews, press officers, the judges.
Cut.
The reporting itself becomes part of the proceedings. The hearing begins when the presiding judge succeeds in having the press terminate their recordings. There is perpetual re-negotiation during the interviews. The facts are complex; the time for stating them limited.
The court and its televised images reveal their code of procedure.
PROCEDERE.
"An experiment apart from all narrative routine. Through its reframing of standardised news shots, it creates a multi-faceted homage to this editorial genre while at once reflecting on its manipulative rituals."
(Josef Lederle, Filmdienst)
