DER UNTERNEHMER DAS DORF UND DIE KÜNSTLER
Germany 2024 – Director: Marcelo Busse, Julia Suermondt – Original language: German – Subtitles: English – Length: 86 min.
“Deppendorf will never be the same again.” Two Swiss concept artists are planning an unusual project with Dr. Hans-Dietrich Reckhaus, the director of a Bielefeld insect control company: “Save the Flies.” The first prize in the competition is a massage and multi-course meal at a 5-star hotel for the winning fly. A simple publicity stunt? Instrumentalization? Or the rousing power of art? Entertaining and thought-provoking cinema. Anja Klauck
