The Ister
'A rich, dense and exhilarating series of connections, arguments and
ambiguities' The Age
A search for the foundations of Western civilisation in the company
of celebrated philosophers Jean-Luc Nancy, Bernard Stiegler and
Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe, and the controversial German artist and
filmmaker Hans-Jurgen Syberberg: A journey up the Danube river, from
the Black Sea delta in Romania to its Black Forest source in Germany,
inspired by a lecture course delivered by Martin Heidegger at
Freiburg University in Germany in 1942, the year the Nazis settled on
the 'Final Solution'. The lecture course focused on a poem by
Freidrich Holderlin: The Ister. Marrying a sweeping philosophical
narrative with a classic European pilgrimage, the film invites its
audience to participate in some of the most provocative questions of
contemporary philosophy.
