THE LOST FATHER
© Thomas Martius
The event will take place at the AULA IM MILCHHOF venue.
Film as Installation by Thomas Martius
Incorporating vivid, amateur 8mm film footage, the documentary fiction traces a family story that spans from the USA and Germany to the former Yugoslavia. The grainy Super 8 material was filmed sparingly in the 1960s and 70s—without autofocus and microphones, in an era before home video and the internet.
Thomas Martius installs the three-part film in the „Aula“ with translucent projections on gauze fabrics. He teams up with avatars and a cinema therapist to help Selma search for her father — and perhaps find herself.
