DAS NOMADISCHE GEN

DAS NOMADISCHE GEN

Kai-Uwe Kohlschmidt
DE, 2025, 116 Min

Over 10,000 years ago, humans settled down. Is there still something like a nomadic gene in us? After numerous expeditions to parts of the world far from Europe, this question arises for the artist group Mangan25. Among other places, they followed in the footsteps of explorer Ludwig Leichhardt in Australia and North America. Their encounters with indigenous peoples in these regions also reveal traumatic events and colonial upheavals.

The Mangan25 artists’ collective, founded in 2004, is an interdisciplinary group of ten members (including Kai-Uwe Kohlschmidt). Together they have explored unusual landscapes, areas well off the beaten track and extreme locations: for instance, Mangan25 has previously followed in the footsteps of German explorer Ludwig Leichhardt in the Simpson Desert, investigated climate change on Spitzbergen and also embarked on a river expedition in the border region of the Neisse and Oder rivers. The latter river expedition runs like a thread through the film DAS NOMADISCHE GEN (the nomadic gene), serving as the starting point from which the viewer is taken on journeys to places as far afield as Australia, Venezuela, Sri Lanka, North America, and Papua New Guinea.
