PASSAGE...S

by Telemach WIESINGER
2008 / b&w / silent / 1S / 30' 00

On one hand PASSAGE...S is a subjective report of a journey and on the other hand it is a documentary film about „movable bridges“. Telemach Wiesinger visited waterfronts in France, Germany, England, Belgium, Italy, the Netherlands and the U.S.A. to make a note of historic swing- and lift bridges, the last hovercrafts and the gigantic ship hoists by means of moving images.
Many masterpieces of bridge construction from the heyday of ship- and railway constructions are nowadays dismantled or fall into ruins. These technical dinosaurs become a document and an allegory of Wiesinger’s timeless imagination of travel.
