Film description
In this road-movie about movies, Peter Wintonick takes a film-trip across the world with Mira, his 20-year-old media-making daughter. They journey through film history and media’s future, questioning how different generations view, use or make their own film, images, sound and media. From Fellini’s hometown in Italy to Nuremburg, where Leni Riefenstahl shot Triumph of the Will; from Chaplin’s grave to blogging theorists in Vienna; from the Wizard of Oz to Romeo and Juliet viaThe Sound of Music; from Jean-Luc Godard’s Swiss village to the next media artists at the Venice Biennale; from Lumiere’s first film factory to media-activist Franny Armstrong, pilgrIMAGE playfully mixes contemporary and historical cinematic sites with personal encounters and film-life lessons.
