So this code was a massage, which I tried to decipher. I felt he is transmitting a code to me, that will enable me to get through my stage of not knowing how to deal with the documentary form anymore. Now if you come to think about this verse, it's pretty enigmatic, what does it mean? And it really captured me again. And then I recalled the film by "Chris Marker", which opens with the line "this land", and he refers to Israel, " this land speaks to you in the language of signs". And I came to realize that filmmaking is maybe more then that. Because I felt this way makes it easy for people to believe that the stories I am telling are true. At a certain point I felt I am tired of this way of documenting. There came a moment where I felt I don't know what kind of films I can do anymore because I did a lot films about stories, telling stories about living people. They remained within the hard disc of my memory, long before I was thinking even about film or filmmaking. I can say in perspective that the images of this film magically haunted me. MC: When and why did you come up with the idea to make a movie on the basis of "Description of a Struggle" by Chris Marker?ĭG: I first saw "Description of a Struggle" when I was around twelve. Der Film setzt sich mit den Träume und Hoffnungen Israels kurz nach seiner Gründung im Vergleich zur Realität heute auseinander. Dan Geva aus Israel präsentierte den Film "Description of a Memory" auf dem Dok Fest 2008, München.
