EMSCHERWOOD – THE MIRACLE OF LOHBERG

Could art and fiction create spaces of possibility to perceive oneself as a citizen of the world beyond the given cultural or social identity?

Together with a handful of professionals, hundreds of people from Lohberg made a film from, in and about their district. In episodes, they ventured into social criticism, future scenarios and the past.

Just as the Lohberg project is a journey through times, spaces and personalities, it is important to get a feeling for what exactly the individual sections, scenes and episodes were composed of.

The Emscherwood crew searches and transforms each story into a little wonder.

Window Travels. Sci-fi trailers. Silent film dramas. And most importantly, real people.

“If no one knows on the outside what I have on the inside, that is, in the middle of my head, then that has an advantage. The disadvantage is that we don’t know anything about the other person. How the other is perhaps very similar, that is, real.”
