Berlin JWD

"Janz weit draußen" is what Berliners call the middle of nowhere – in his latest film, the arranger of cinematic observations, Bernhard Sallmann presents the outskirts of the German capital: be it in beautiful color gradients inspirited by tiny people, with an audiovisual focus on machines, or transmitting industrial coldness and calm evening sun into the cinema. The peripheral locations’ names themselves are no less wonderful: the Spree-Teltow Pyramid, Arkenberge (mountains of Arke), Dichtervillen (poets’ mansions). A feast of wimmelpictures and small sensations that demands the viewers’ patience by offering the ability to carefully watch something – an ability we are increasingly losing. (Jakob Dibold)
