Nach Saison

Mirjam Quinte, Pepe Danquart, DE 1997, 126 min, original German subtitles

The second film in our Sunday series about Klaus Wildenhahn is another portrait of the social democrat Hans Koschnick, who worked as an EU administrator in Mostar in 1993, a city ravaged by civil war.

While the aid organization "War Child" is on the move in many corners of the city and children become protagonists in ruined landscapes, Brian Eno visits the city and builds on a new musical beginning. The narrative framework of Mirjam Quinte and Pepe Danquart's film is formed by the reconstruction of the destroyed bridge between the hostile parts of the city, which already became a symbol in 'Journey to Mostar'. The black-and-white film is a poetic portrait of the city that patiently listens to people's stories and tells of the attempt to revive a city. Guest: Pepe Danquart,
