Special screening of the documentary DIE TOTEN VÖGEL SIND OBEN at the Delphi Filmpalast in Berlin. Director Sönje Storm will be a guest and will answer questions about the film after the screening. The event will take place on January 21 (11 a.m.) in cooperation with the Schleswig-Holstein State Representation.
About the movie: 350 stuffed birds. 3000 butterflies, fungi, beetles. The collection is documentary, obsessive and poetic. The multitude of objects, butterfly boxes, photographs taken over hours, probably even months, colored by hand. Who takes so much time, what was going on in that head?
In her film, director Sönje Storm opens up the estate of farmer Jürgen Friedrich Mahrt (1882-1940), who was her great-grandfather. During the First World War, he trained as a photographer for aerial reconnaissance and was deployed on the Western Front. From 1919 onwards, he observed and documented the changes in his homeland: human intervention in the natural landscape, the decline in species. He collected the animals of his time and opened a private natural history museum in his farmhouse in 1928.
Mahrt observed the progressive destruction of fragile ecosystems such as the moors and documented the causes of our climate problems: images from the early days of the Anthropocene.
