MAKING OF HEIMAT Documentary by Anja Pohl and Jörg Adolph, 119 Min., Germany 2013
In between celebrating 50 years of the Oberhausen Manifesto and his 80th birthday, Edgar Reitz is shooting a new film. With DIE ANDERE HEIMAT he tries to continue the world famous legacy of his Heimat trilogy, building on his early and almost forgotten work for the cinema. That is why an entire village in the German Hunsrück region, is returning visually to the year 1840, as several line-ups for the main cast are tested. Thus comes to life a nearly four-hour film – and a late work of the New German Cinema.
MAKING OF HEIMAT observes every step in the production of this challenging work, showing the peculiar world of filmmaking from Edgar Reitz’s perspective. In doing so, the documentary strictly follows Edgar Reitz request: “Please don't shoot an ordinary making-of. Make a film about filmmaking!”
