Abendland
About Abendland
Some things can be seen more clearly at night.. A film poem about a continent at night, a culture on which the sun’s going down, though it’s hyper alert at the same time, an “Abendland” that, often somewhat self-obsessively, sees itself as the crown of human civilization, while its service economy is undergoing rapid growth in a thoroughly pragmatic way.
Abendland (2011) is a documentary film directed by Nikolaus Geyrhalter. At 90 minutes long, it arrived in March 2011.
Written by Maria Arlamovsky and Nikolaus Geyrhalter.
Shelv files it under technology, surveillance, night life, and security. American members can watch it on DocAlliance Films, OVID, and True Story.
Ex Machina, G.I. Joe: Retaliation, and The Conversation make useful companions to Abendland.
