Experiencing Interruptions?

9.21

"9.21" accompanies the school class of the same name as they deal with Nazi crimes. The students visit the former concentration camp Sachsenhausen and meet with a contemporary witness. The film stays close to the feelings and thoughts of the teenagers, who deal with what they experience in very different ways.

Director Statement

For me as a filmmaker it is always important to understand form and content as a unity and to implement them in this way. Thus the visual omission and the square framing is an attempt to tell a well known chapter of history through the eyes of a new generation. It was particularly important to me to show the handling of the various forms of memory in all its facets without forgetting that it is young people we see and with whom we sympathize.
