Synopsis
During the 1980s the transcript of a witch trial was found in the archive of a private property in south-west Germany. “Plant (879 pages, 33 days)” unfolds as a conversation between mother and daughter that switches between historical facts from the surviving testimony and personal, ancestral connections to the site. A collection of digital and analog photographs, handled, scrolled and spliced throughout the film replace the missing protagonists, determined to conjure the space between unseen histories and intergenerational transmissions.
Sinopsis
Osamdesetih godina dvadesetog vijeka, u privatnoj arhivi u jugozapadnoj Njemačkoj, pronađen je transkript suđenja vješticama. Ovaj film se odvija na fonu razgovora majke i kćerke, koji varira između historijskih činjenica preživjelog svjedočanstva do ličnih, predačkih veza sa događajem. Kolekcija analognih i digitalnih fotografija koje se prenose, razvijaju i prepliću kroz čitav film zamijenjuju protagoniste, u namjeri da prizovu prostor između neviđenih historija i međugeneracijskih transmisija.
