but suddenly the stranger drives off with the van. Following th
fugitive, the man finally tracks him down off the main raod - and
unconscious again. A few yards ahead, however, he finds a grave,

13 MIN, ohne Dialog
Regie / Director: Peter Braatz
A documentary
on an factory for glass ware. The filmmakers catch the atmopshere
of this place in pictures full of a raw beauty. There is the heat,
that leaves the men soaking with sweat as well as the deafening
noise the workers have to endure, on the other hand you can find
an almost poetic harmony in the rhythmical movements of man and
machine.

A short-film
version of Dostojevskij's classic tale of the kind-hearted Prince
who after a long absence returns to his hometown St. Petersburg.
There, the naïve man is taken advantage of by ruthless people and
finally becomes mentally deranged. Cardynin's film is less of a
"Film version" of the story than a cinematographic "illustration"
of the narration, with lots of love for décor in detail.

Food
as a sado-masochistic automatism: A fast food-machine perverts its
consumers into machines. In the restaurant and at a lonely gourmet
meal, eating turns into an act which destroys the partner or the
eater himself.
