DESERT 79°: THREE JOURNEYS<br />
BEYOND THE KNOWN WORLD<br />
Anna Abrahams<br />
Desert 79° wagt einen Blick über die bekannte Welt<br />
hinaus. Drei historische Berichterstattungen über die<br />
Suche von Arktis-Reisenden nach dem Unbekannten,<br />
die in verschiedenen Weißtönen gefilmt wurden (1) Der<br />
Grieche Pytheas beschrieb als erster den Arktischen<br />
Ozean (330 v.Chr.). (2) Admiral John Ross traf die einzigen<br />
Bewohner des Universums an einer unbekannten<br />
arktischen Küste (1819). (3) Nachdem sein Heißluftballon<br />
auf dem Weg zum Nordpol abgestürzt war,<br />
machte sich der schwedische Erfinder Andree zu Fuß<br />
auf eine lange Reise über das Eis (1897).<br />
Desert 79° looks over the edge of the known world.<br />
Three historical accounts of Arctic travellers in search<br />
of the unknown filmed in different tints of white. (1)<br />
The Greek Pytheas was the first to describe the Arctic<br />
Ocean (330 BC). (2) Admiral John Ross met the only inhabitants<br />
of the universe on an unknown Arctic coast<br />
(1819). (3) After his hot air balloon crashed on its way<br />
to the North Pole, the Swedish inventor Andree embarked<br />
on a long journey by foot over the ice cap<br />
(1897).<br />

LA FOSSE AUX LIONS<br />
Phillipp Hauss<br />
Familienfilme zeigen nie Katastrophen, und das obwohl<br />
die meisten Familiengeschichten genau aus diesen<br />
Katastrophen bestehen. Die Kamera wird ausgeschaltet,<br />
wenn der Streit beginnt. Nur Kindern ist es<br />
vergönnt, manchmal zu weinen, aber dann stehen<br />
meistens die Erwachsenen um sie herum und lächeln<br />
beruhigend. Die Nicht-Abbildung der Katastrophe ist<br />
auch das Bezeichnende an Werner Herzogs Film ›La<br />
soufrière‹, ein Bericht über einen Vulkanausbruch, der<br />
dann doch nicht stattfindet.<br />
Home movies never depict catastrophes, and that although<br />
most families' narrations consist of nothing<br />
but catastrophes. The camera is turned off when the<br />
arguments begin. Only children seem to have the privilege<br />
of crying on camera, but in most cases surrounded<br />
by adults smiling soothingly. The non-depiction of<br />
the catastrophe is also the significant characteristic<br />
of Werner Herzog's film ›La soufrière‹, a report on a<br />
volcanic eruption that does not take place.<br />
