Schicht
Alexandra Gerbaulet
Shift simultaneously takes stock of and retraces the past. Salzgitter: A town where history deposits itself layer upon layer. The central theme is Gerbaulet’s family history, which is brought to life by records from the family’s private archives. A film that analyses and imagines. Accompanied by the punk rock of her youth, the cacophony of the steelworks and the roar of the motorway, occasionally interrupted by the cutting silence of the disused mines, where radioactive waste will be stored from 2020. Half-life: 24,000 years. 685 generations.
