The Dreamed Ones, GFT 6 and 7 January, 2017

The Dreamed Ones

GFT

6 – 7 January, 2017

Concentration camp survivor and poet Paul Celan met fellow writer Ingeborg Bachmann in 1948, and the two began a long-distance correspondence that would last for 20 years despite the erstwhile couple meeting only once more throughout that time. Documentarian Ruth Beckermann investigates this relationship in an innovatively simple way, simply filming two actors reading the correspondence in a recording studio. By keeping her camera rolling between readings and during cigarette breaks, Beckermann manages to capture a palpable on-screen chemistry that emerges from the historical letters.

    simple but strikingly effective
