In Ermatingen, a Swiss village on Lake Constance, once an industrial and migrant-dominated region, many people believe that hard work and politeness are the most important preconditions for social advancement. Is that really the case? Is it still the case? Was it ever like that? Ariane Andereggen, artist, actor and film director, returns to her small hometown and questions the self-perceptions of those who grew up in Ermatingen between the 1970s and 1990s - her classmates, family, former teachers. With the help of archive footage in Super 8 format, VHS snippets, computer-generated images and fragments of her own performances, Andereggen examines social affiliations in her film essay and attempts to counter social judgments with a different, more solidary narrative. (Swiss-German with German subtitles)

The screening will be followed by a discussion with the film director.

The event is a cooperation with the Academy of Visual Arts Leipzig. It is part of the project "Work, Origin, Change, Image" of the "Klasse Klasse" in the photography department and is supervised by Prof. Dr. Ines Schaber and Susanne Keichel.
