Appreciating that the festival program was very wide-ranging and ambitious, above all through the Special Program »re<local>isation«, the Ecumenical Jury awards an additional Honourable Mention to a film outside the International Competition, and that to a film in the German Competion, Integration by Siegfried Koepf. The German national anthem was never played more pointed.

Vom Rand zum Bild
2002

By example of a documentary about homeless persons the film questions the ethical prospects and limits of engaged art.

2002

The film reflects the question of identity. Fragments of the personality of a young boy are multiplied and refracted as by a kaleidoscope. This particular representation conveys a dynamic quest for identity without leading to a plain solution.
