in a news nutshell zurück zum Inhalt Legacy of one generation to another While travelling on a train through Austria young people - mostly teens in their twenties - take their last chance to ask their grandparents about their experience before, during, and after the Nazi regime. How did the victims survive the Holocaust? What did the bystanders know? What did they do? And what haven‘t they done? What can we learn from their experience? How can we take responsibility today? Each conversation has a unique focus on a special part of history in an inimitable way. Dialogues like this have never been recorded before: The youngest participant is 12 years old while the oldest is 104 years old. The goal of the Austrian filmmaker Fabian Eder, who runs a small production company called Backyard – Manufactory for Films, and his wife Katharina Stemberger is to premiere the feature length documentary „Talk to Me“ and the 15 episodes series in Canada and in the US during fall 2020 before it will be released in Europe in November 2020. The combination of the documentary and the series represents not only over 900 minutes of screening time, but a very unique archive for the world. www.indiegogo.com/projects/talk-to-me-a-documentary-series#/ https://talk-to-me.backyard.at © Backyard – Manufactory for Films VR Experience Day <strong>2019</strong> November 6, Baden-Württemberg The VR Experience Day is organized by the Animation Institute of the Film Academy Baden-Württemberg.
