Déjà-vu - memory, emotion or delusion
"I think it is wrong to call the sensation of having already experienced something an illusion. The sensation of déjà vu corresponds, in short, to the memory of an unconscious fantasy"
(Sigmund Freud - 1904)
We have all probably already gotten to know the feeling that occasionally comes over us, as if something had been said and done long before, as if we had experienced the same faces, objects and conditions in old-grey times and knew exactly what will happen in the next moment, also from old memories
The aim of my film is to bring together neuro-scientific research, personal accounts of people with epilepsy and the artistic issues and to give a current overall picture on the subject of déjà-vu.

WHY I MADE THIS FILM
A few days ago, after having spent the afternoon strolling around Hamburg
was, by the Elbe, looking at the water. And there it was again, that feeling
scenery before. A deep feeling seized me. I was already
ever been here before? Where did this feeling of deep familiarity come from? Played
my brain prank me?
This experience has awakened in me the desire to delve deeper into the subject.
And as a filmmaker, it suggests itself to approach this subject
documentation. Because, this much is certain, many questions about déjà-vu are
has remained unanswered to this day. The aim of my film is to show scientific research, personal reports of and the artistic questions flow together and create a new, more give an up-to-date overall picture on the subject of déjà-vu.
