Film Talk with Jan Peters, Director of EIGENTLICH EIGENTLICH JANUAR

Moderation: Ina Bormann


EIGENTLICH EIGENTLICH JANUAR, DE 2022, Jan Peters


Turn on the camera and go for it. Or is it finely planned?
3-minute reels of exposed film material. Textured flickering
images. A train of thought without pause for breath. Whispering
that breaks off at an inopportune moment. Collected photos,
rearranged, relate simple everyday and major political matters –
and it’s the images themselves that are important. A film to be
seen over and over again.
