PANDEMIC

main project for semester topic "Present Future"

20:20 min, dokumentary, 2020

Covid-19 - a neologism, many associations. Suddenly the life of many humans has changed worldwide. Caused by a pandemic. New rules and restrictions determine our everyday-life. Adaption is required. Deceleration or burden ? Empty streets or crowded places ?

In the documentary 28 people from the age of 4 until 80 answer 5 questions, which are dealing with the everyday-life during the pandemic. The voice memos, which were set up independently of one another, form a intergenerational conversation. Similarities and differences are found.

The dialogue is accompanied by video footage showing places in Berlin over the course of the pandemic.
