Fall. The Country Of The Blind Video with animation. U-Matic Music: This Heat, HDT Light: Volker Rendschmidt Camera/editing/directing: HDT Mixing: Rolf Wolkenstein Technical Advisor: Martin Potthoff Additional camera: Rike Anders Speaker: Ed Cantu Production: DFFB 1985. Length: 3:10.

This video is based on studio shots that were made during a seminar on animation techniques and the combination of image types (mixing) in video recording and processing at the DFFB (German Film and Television Academy Berlin). Into the 1:500 architectural model for a new film academy at Potsdamer Platz (design: Karin Rühle) I projected visions of a dark interior, in which the light liberates itself from the „objects“.

Exerpts from H.G. Well's story „The country of the Blind“ present a race that has been isolated for over a century in a valley high up in the Andes and whose people are so blind that they no longer even know what „to see“ means and what vision is for.
