… took me to the countryside! More precisely: 2 hours north of Berlin, near Angermünde.
A former student of the DFFB (Wiki says: “The Deutsche Film- und Fernsehakademie Berlin (DFFB) was founded on 17 September 1966 as the first film school in West Germany, officially opened by the Mayor of Berlin, Willi Brandt. Established as a non-profit limited company under the sole ownership of the State of Berlin.
In the late 1960s, DFFB became involved in student political movements; in May 1968 the school was briefly occupied and renamed, and later that year 18 students were expelled amid debates over management and governance.
From the 1970s onward, the academy was associated with politically engaged and documentary filmmaking.”)…
… bought an old, large railway station building together with friends. The station is still a station, trains come and go … but the large building was no longer needed (buy your tickets online!).
My co-teacher Ute, six students and I lived, worked, cooked, ate, slept and developed there for two days.
16 mm film, developing with food scraps, chestnuts and flowers… in buckets! Great fun and wonderful results!
And that was it for this year (or was it?) with the workshops. I will now have a little more time for my own projects!
Standing at Hermannplatz subway station waiting for the next train I realize these half broken tiles look like a strip of super 8 film with perforation, can you see it?
They are coming into the cities, because it is convenient and safe. Foxes in forests and fields have to roam much larger areas in search of food than foxes in cities.
We have yummy mice and rats here!
This is it. Two tomato plants on my balcony, late blooming, only one tomato coming! Hoping we’ll have a few more sunny day for the little one to become red!!
Yes. I’m starting now in my late age to be a little bit sporty. I’m going to the gym now. Twice a week. Started 2 days ago, cool gym coach Mary instructing me and made a nice plan with me. No excuse any more. It’s “Just Move” in Bergmannstrasse. Women only. Super atmosphere and I can go there by bike. Yes.
I made a very short film recently when I spent a wonderful week at my mother’s at the Baltic Sea in August.
I remember … a timeless feeling lying in the sand in the sun … and the Baltic Sea was for once in my lifetime not too cold to swim!
Recently in Hamburg-Wilhelmsburg on the dyke. Evening sun.
