Echtzeit
Hellmuth Costard, Jürgen Ebert
Georg Krämer, Ruth Bierich
ECHTZEIT by Hellmuth Costard and Jürgen Ebert is a film like thoughts. About reality and the digitalized world. A film about Ruth and Georg, who may no longer exist. A film about "imaginary cameras", synthetic landscapes, about (flight) simulators and Pershing II.

Hollywood opening credits with crashing sea waves and expectant orchestral music opens the film. Then the viewer's gaze is carried through a room. In a mirror you see for a moment a naked girl holding the recording subjective camera under her arm, she pulls open a drawer, puts the camera inside and closes the drawer. The viewer's gaze and thus the viewer himself is caught in the darkness.
