Since the seventh century AD, Sado has been called the "island of exile". Unwelcomed people by the shogunate such as homeless, artists and politicians were exiled, some of them even put to forced labour in the mines. Their spirits, trapped in the depths of the earth, will never see the sky again.
Pensive signs of life, the demolition of a historic hotel, and the hum of a nearby steel mill permeate this quietly crushing essay film on class relations, and institutional violence. Where the impersonal is pervasive, the personal is a discursive study of image and sound; dissolving narratives of progress/collapse; and the (in)compatibilities between images of refusal and their respective representations. This is the story of a protracted shipwreck that is both labyrinthine and foreclosing.
The Drachenfels, a 321-meter mountain along the Rhine, is one of Europe’s most climbed peaks and a significant symbol of technological progress and nature conservation in Germany. It became a focal point of Rhine Romanticism in the 19th century, inspiring art and legends, particularly the tale of a dragon. The nearby city of Königswinter thrives on tourism, which began with English visitors in the early 19th century and was boosted by the introduction of Germany's first cogwheel railway. The fairy-tale-like Drachenburg castle, built in 1884 and recently renovated, is a major attraction. Filmmakers Clemens Gersch and Michael Wieseler document their ascent of the Drachenfels, meeting a 90-year-old photographer and a local tour guide, while also exploring the unique "Guerilla wine" produced in the area.
