Judith Röder: Okno, 2019
Experimental film, 16mm transferred to HD video, 20 min., b/w, silent

For the film "Okno", Judith Röder roams through the city of Wrocław and its surroundings, which, due to its turbulent political history, is filled with inscriptions of the most diverse cultural and political provenance. We read German writing on old gravestones and weathered house walls, see a monument from Soviet times, discover dilapidated churches abandoned long ago, all relics of past systems of order and reference. Judith Röder becomes the cinematic archivist of these legacies, which she subjects to a visual analysis and optical inventory. (Daniel Burkhardt)
