The World Between Us

 
in German:
Welt zwischen Menschen - The World Between Us

Project

 

Description

The documentary tells the stories of three third-generation Jewish artists expelled from Vienna and an indigenous Australian singer. Although they never meet, their stories are interwoven through their confrontation with the past, identity and social exclusion, as their families either fled the Nazis or bear the legacy of colonial oppression. Through gentle imagery, The World Between Us shows how expulsion, memory and identity are passed down through the generations in the form of movements, glances and unspoken words.

in German:
Der Dokumentarfilm erzählt von drei jüdischen Künstler:innen der dritten Generation nach der Vertreibung aus Wien und einer indigenen Sängerin in Australien. Ihre Familien flohen vor den Nationalsozialisten oder tragen das Erbe kolonialer Unterdrückung – und obwohl sie sich nie begegnen, sind ihre Geschichten durch die Auseinandersetzung mit Vergangenheit, Identität und gesellschaftlicher Ausgrenzung miteinander verwoben. In sanften Bildern zeigt "Welt zwischen Menschen", wie sich Vertreibung, Erinnerung und Identität über Generationen hinweg einschreiben – in Bewegungen, Blicken, ungesagten Worten.
