What is the silent moment between thoughts, moments and memories? "The Remembering Movement" poetically reflects on this moment. An experimental poetic film triptych based on the painting assemblage "Poetikweltlichter" by Marion Steinfellner and the poem "Inzwischen" by Marion Steinfellner and Mersolis Schöne. Connected by Michael Fischer's soundscaping, which weaves poetry and sound into a rhizomatic sound fabric triptych.
