Untitled
Monika Willi, Michael Glawogger
Synopsis
More than two years after the sudden death of Michael Glawogger in April 2014, his longstanding editor Monika Willi makes a film out of the footage gathered during 4 months and 19 days of shooting in the Balkans, Italy and Northwest and West Africa. A journey into the world with eyes and mind wide open: observing, listening, experiencing. Serendipity is the central concept in both shooting and editing the film. "I want to give a view of the world that can only emerge by not pursuing any particular theme, by refraining from passing judgment, proceeding without aim. Drifting with no direction except one’s own curiosity and intuition."
—Michael Glawogger
