Singing in Oblivion

Direction
Year

Country
  • Austria
Runtime
13min 

The Währinger Jewish cemetery is bathed in sunlight and permeated by the singing of birds. Photos of unknown people, which the director discovered at a flea market and transferred from glass negatives to film stock, capture the past in its boundless anonymity. The film also recalls the genocide that attempted to erase Jewish culture from human memory. A wordless meditation on death, memories and their absence.
