I am me

Three films that are also about one's own identity, about the question of what that actually is: "I", and whether this person can be explored for oneself and communicated to others. In her short documentary I am me Kathrin Resetarits observes two pairs of twins with her camera, allowing us to hear and see how very different personalities assert themselves against the appearance of sameness. Albert Sackl sets up his 16mm Bolex on a tripod and places himself in front of the lens, triggering a series of individual images that only result in a new, almost automated body movement in the montage. Gabriele Mathes, on the other hand, approaches her own past in the form of a semi-documentary essay film, in which the atmosphere of found Super 8 footage is offset by an intoxicatingly sparse off-screen narration: One million credit is normal, says my grandfather.
