Sandflug
Germany, 17,11 min. 2023
Dir: Doro Carl
The surf tosses sand on the beach, the wind blows it inland. Nothing remains as it is, or where it was. Everything is in motion: the 200-million-year-old sand, the dunes, the sea, and the countless creatures that make their home amongst its grains. Yet human interventions such as dikes, coastal protection measures, and sand filling have made the dynamic line between water and land inelastic and stiff.

Moving images shot from the ground against moving images shot from the sky. The words of women, men and children against official speeches. People who don't want to move, "just like the pine tree by the riverbank". A valley turned into a reservoir. Class struggle lies underground... and underwater.
