Niemanns Zeit - Ein deutscher Heimatfilm (1985)

Directed by Horst Kurnitzky, Marion Schmid

Overview

A lone scholar researches the visual and textual worlds of National Socialism. The film approaches a critical understanding of “German identity” from a multimedia perspective - off-screen commentary is superimposed over shots of paintings, literary quotations over feature film sequences and at the center of the film is a television debate on the subject of nature. The focus is on the German concept of “Heimat” and its connection to romantic notions of nature.
