\u00bbI did not \u203adecide\u2039 to make this movie. It sort of happened on its own, sometimes despite myself and itself! Throughout the five years of its making, it ended up being more like a quilt, a patchwork of autobiographies, geographies and genres.\u00ab Athina Rachel Tsangari<\/p>\n
Petra Going is a professional world and time-traveller. Instead of luggage, she travels with a rocking chair, taking it from one hotel room to the next. \u00bbI\u2019m kind of homesick but I don\u2019t know for what or where,\u00ab she observes wryly. The urban environments appear as interchangeable non-places: Tokyo, Manhattan, Tangier, Tel Aviv\u2026 an endless succession of cities that merely claim to exist but are not really identifiable. Each city is an episode in the film, and each episode is an encounter with a person, filmed with its own aesthetic in an anarchic, collaborative mix of materials and genres. Created around the year 2000, the film captures the turn of the millennium as an all-encompassing, detached homelessness beyond the reach of everyday realities. No sooner has Petra arrived than she is already planning her next departure. She is travelling on behalf of the Experience Data Agency<\/em>, collecting other people\u2019s experiences and storing them in her memory, from where they can be downloaded into an archive.<\/p>\n Shot on Super 8, 16 mm, Mini DV and 35 mm cameras, enlarged, manipulated and processed with effects, Athina Tsangari\u2019s debut film is a dazzling cinematic firecracker.<\/p>\n Guest: Athina Rachel Tsangari<\/strong><\/p>\n In cooperation with Academy of Media Arts Cologne\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":46311,"template":"","movie_year":[597],"movie_genre":[888],"movie_cat":[876],"festival":[886],"class_list":["post-46309","movie","type-movie","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","movie_year-597","movie_genre-experimenteller-spielfilm","movie_cat-focus-en-2026","festival-886"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
