Die Nordsee von oben(de)

The first German film to show the Wadden Sea World Heritage Site exclusively from a bird's eye view. The cinematic journey begins in East Frisia along the coast, up the river Elbe to Hamburg and then to the North Frisian Islands to Sylt. So far, few international productions such as "The Earth from Above" or "Home" have only shown images from a bird's eye view. "The North Sea from Above" is the first German cinema film that dares to do so. With this film, Silke Schranz and Christian Wüstenberg want to show that the Wadden Sea, as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is rightly on the same level as the Grand Canyon, the Serengeti or the Galápagos Islands.

L'Arbre et le Soleil(fr)

This film is dedicated to Mas-Félipe Delavouët, the poet discovered by Lawrence Durrell, who wrote 14,000 verses in Provençal over a period of thirty years, and who died on November 18, 1990. "The sky, history and Mediterranean and Provençal myths are the inexhaustable wellspring of this man rooted down there, near Salon-de-Provence" (J.-D. Pollet). "Mas-Félipe Delavouët wrote five books in Provençal, 14,000 verses. A sort of "Odyssey". Of myths. What is stunning in him is that he always talks of disappearances. Cities, works, men, writings, television, etc., everything has to disappear. In order to be reborn. No pain. A sort of hand-to-hand of man and nature. During the filming, I would simply throw out some words... For example, one time I said "creation" and he said: "creation doesn't exist..., creation is before me..., I can only read creation"; this sentence describes Delavouët perfectly (J.-D. Pollet, 1989 and 1993).
