UNSETTLED GROUNDS
Director Maren Grimm
Countries Germany
Duration 32 min
Synopsis
House and trees are falling one by one and finally the old taxi-call machine is being disrooted. A film about the preparation of a building area. A longtime observation of the demolition of an older part of the Hamburg harbour. Over a period of three years the process is documented. The offtext is a compilation of historical notes and anecdotes, official statements of the port authority and encounters of the filmmakers. An old taxi call machine is seemingly the only voice of protest.
