handbikemovie

Martin Bruch travelled thousands of kilometres for Handbikemovie to film 56 shots solely from the subjective viewpoint of the helmet camera with original sound or music. His multiple sclerosis made it necessary for him to travel independently on this special three-wheeled vehicle, but it was also a daring and fun adventure. The result is an "experimental documentary about an impossible freedom". He was on the road in all weathers, and moments of danger on busy city streets in Vienna, London, New York and Paris or winding roads are physically conveyed; at times you feel like you're watching a rollercoaster. The views on the bridges, in the mountains and by the sea are beautiful: a road movie that illustrates effort and movement as a cinema experience. (bbu)
