COMPETITION 4 I WETTBEWERB 4: Apocalypse now
Biotope I Biotop
Germany, 2018, 10‘00, German | English subtitles
A noise protection measure is the focus of the cinematic dialogue between two neighbours of a residential estate. It is about a newly erected wall that protects the estate from a refugee home. Built of stone, it is massive and very high. The local residents fought the case at court. Nothing of the asylum seekers penetrates into the biotope of single-family houses any more - and consequently not a single one of them appears in the picture. Sensitive and precise, Biotope shows how a xenophobic structure was created out of resentment, fears and demarcation efforts.
