But how much of it is actually natural? And who decides what nature is anyway? The film follows four people in search of wilderness in the Black Forest, exploring how our ideas about nature arise — and what they reveal about ourselves. Shot on 16 mm film, it combines poetic images with genre elements paying special attention to the sound design. https://johannaseggelke.com/RMBA Wed, 18 Feb 2026 11:38:43 +0000 Johanna Seggelke https://johannaseggelke.com/RMBA Reality Must Be Addressed <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d80815400ba5b4957e5e576f67a8e718d33c1950222267c49ab12b380f4ebe59/RMBA_STILL_3.jpg" data-mid="244995440" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d80815400ba5b4957e5e576f67a8e718d33c1950222267c49ab12b380f4ebe59/RMBA_STILL_3.jpg" /> 2021 Documentary53 min I English with SubtitlesDOK Leipzig 2021 Streaming via truestory.film Johanna Seggelke (Director/DoP)Vi R.

On the basis of an empathic reappraisal of these traumatic events the film reflects on the significance of social issues and how to deal with exclusion today: a therapy by proxy on film that will hopefully have a long-distance healing effect on Bibi.

In the summer of 1979, Harun Farocki roams the streets of West Berlin with a 16mm camera to capture images that reflect the “taste of life”. He films everyday scenes that happen in this or a similar way every day. Some 40 years later, we discover Farocki’s film, and go in search of its locations. Once seemingly chosen at random, now painstakingly researched. In the end, we find ourselves in the same place, and the past time seems to vanish into thin air. The remake is not one in the classical sense in that it is not meant to stand without its original, but enters into a dialogue with it. As a 2-channel video installation, we invite you to either to watch one of the two directions, or to discover the parallels in the narrative that chance has created. A project in cooperation with Antje Ehmann and the Harun Farocki Insitut. https://johannaseggelke.com/About Mon, 18 Sep 2023 09:11:56 +0000 Johanna Seggelke https://johannaseggelke.com/About Johanna Seggelke&nbsp;(*1996) Works as a director, cinematographer and video artist and has been studying documentary filmmaking at University of Television and Film Munich since 2017.
