CORONA DIARIES / CORONA-CHRONIKEN
Germany 2020 – Director: Elke Sasse – Original language: Other – Subtitles: German – Length: 60 min.
Corona has turned our lives upside down. Everywhere. In CORONA DIARIES, people from all around the world document their everyday life during the pandemic with their mobile phones: An Indian construction worker, a Spanish nurse, a Chinese returnee, a bicycle courier in New York, a girl from Afghanistan in the Moria refugee camp – together, from mid-March to mid-April 2020 they are writing a communal, global video diary.
We present the world premiere of the film at DOK.fest München 2020 @home.
Biography
Elke Sasse often finds the "big" in the "small" with her films. She believes in the power and authenticity of user-generated content to document extraordinary events: in 2015, her film #MYESCAPE documented the refugee routes using videos that refugees themselves had taken during their flight.
