The film Mandala by Christoph Hübner and Gabriele Voss shows in great calm and forcefulness the formation and destruction of the hitherto largest sand mandala in the "Bochumer Jahrhunderthalle zur Ruhrtriennale", created in 2011. Traditionally, sand mandalas scattered on certain ritual occasions in monasteries and the general public are hardly accessible

Aftermath

Three famous jazz musicians, the German Jochim Kühm, the Moroccan Majid Bekkas, the Spanish Ramon Lopez, realize a long-term dream: One month of free time together in Morocco, time for music, for encounters, for a new CD. They rent a small studio in Rabat and invite guest musicians. They travel to the desert to meet a legendary group of native drummers, to play with them and make recordings. In between excursions into the everyday life of Morocco, computer crashes, and little crises. A film about improvised music and the work on it, a film about encounters of different cultures, a film about understanding and not understanding. Where do you come from, where do you go to?

Tor 2

The work of a film editor usually takes place in secret. At the end of their work is a finished film - the result of weeks of concentrated work. In documentary films, the narrative structure is often only found at the editing table. The editor is a co-author who juggles with the existing material and organizes it. It's about rhythm, compositional thinking, the sensitive handling of space and time. In the documentary by Gabriele Voss, who also works as an editor herself, renowned editors, a brain researcher and the author and director Alexander Kluge use selected film examples to report on seeing, hearing and perceiving, on chaos and order, on hidden tricks and astonishing techniques.
