The Journey

Gerda Grossmann, Margit Eschenbach Eine Reise, AT, 1992, 12', 16 mm

The film is a road movie, alien, and, except for an olive-picker, empty of people. The text is Vera’s inner monologue, in which she recaptures images from the journey made ten years ago. Sound and image run parallel like the tracks of a slalom. Two pieces of music, Armenian and Hungarian, set the emotional tone with their old-fashioned beauty. The S-8 material has been blown up to 16 mm and the use of overlays has intensified the reddish and grainy effect of the original material. "I knew that my decision was right, and that never again would I allow this coldness which had almost turned me into an angel of death." (Gerda Edelweiss Grossmann)
