About


"Ok guys, you have 2 weeks to make a film! Let's see what happens". So they told us during the seminar "Filmgestaltung 1" at the Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg. This may be a somewhat abbreviated summary of the seminar. But in the end, the philosophical debates on topics such as life, politics and society led us to this poetic and melancholic observation of an abandoned train station. A small experiment on how to express feelings of being forgotten.
