Axensprung

About This Movie

Axensprung is an intriguing exploration of culture and identity through the lens of Monika Treut's personal journeys. Shot between '99 and '02, it’s a curious blend of travelogue and documentary that doesn’t just showcase places, but more so the moments - the conversations, the fleeting encounters at film festivals across the globe. The pacing feels almost contemplative, allowing viewers to breathe in the atmosphere of cities like San Francisco and Rio, while also reflecting on the social contexts surrounding them. What’s distinctive here is Treut’s intimate approach; rather than a detached narrative, you feel her presence and introspection. It’s not just about what she sees, but what she feels, making it a rich tapestry of thoughts and experiences worth pondering.
