The Film All-Nighter

Three filmmakers are researching a film about the chemical plant in Cologne-Kalk. Sitting at the analogue editing table in the archive, they are confronted with material that sparks questions: site plans, film snippets and photographs of female forced labourers. An archivist comments. Who decides what is preserved? What does the process of weeding imply? And what does this ultimately mean for the project? The film humorously dissects the deluge of material and the creation of a narrative.
