BrückenJahre
Years of the Bridge
In this predominantly crowdfunding-financed sequel to HEIMAT AUF ZEIT (2009) Peter Benedix continues to follow the desperate struggle of three Lusatian villages against an energy giant and the local area's imminent excavation. A popular petition and constitutional challenge fail; Whilst the one side organises demonstrations and defiantly opens a village shop, their opponents are already investing heavily in future mines. More so than in the original film, Benedix explores the potential consequences of an energy transition and so-called “bridging technologies” in a region in which homeland and work are mutually exclusive concepts.
