Fresh Paint - Frisch gestrichen

A film like Poetry Slam: On a brown paper roll of 130 metres in total, paintings are growing which – changed by overpainting – are getting unrolled at the bottom and continued on the top: a vertical tracking shot is growing and gets stopped or dropped from time to time. Abstract forms are turning into something else, stones become airy, stripes become skyscrapers; there are also some football players, a fried egg and a cable railway... . Guitar, piano and voices are reacting to the paintings. Unaware of the storyboard, the musicians in the role of two dubbers are translating the language of the film in there own.
