At almost 200m high, they are among the tallest buildings in Hamburg and rise directly on the A7 near Altenwerder. When they were installed in 2009, the two wind turbines were the largest in the world. Not far away, traces of old windmills can be found in the surrounding area. What happened on the way between historic wooden construct and modern mega machine? By networking regional artists, scientists and students, the project aims to open the topic of windpower on a new, cinematic scale.

WINDPOWER - FOLLOW THE EVOLUTION OF THE WIND WHEEL

The tale of the wind wheel follows two travelers, who visit it at different times: Once a wanderer strays to its early, wooden form in the folkloric past of medieval windmills. The other time a journalist flees to it in the face of the great energy transition, when it has already grown into its form of an electrified machine. 
On their way, they show new and hidden insights and meet the humans of wind power. The starting point of the film is the appearance of the first millstone thousands of years ago and leads to the search of the highest wind turbine on earth in present time. The transformation of the wind wheel continues! It tells its story through the visit of two people.

DER SAALHEIMER GRAUPEL

SAALHEIM'S SLEET
by Kristian Panzer 
Saalheim is a health resort with the predicate "stimulating climate" - the spa director presents the healing house and her daily routine of the locus.​​​​​​​
Starring Anna-Lena Wünnecke, assisted production by Lukas Schupp & Victoria Funkl,
developed at Analogfilmwerke Hamburg, produced at HFBK Hamburg, shot via Arriflex / 16mm
Kurdirektion Saalheim 2021

AWARDED/SCREENED AT: ROME INDEPENDENT PRISMA AWARDS, FLICKFAIR FILM FESTIVAL 2022. EXPERIMENTAL VIDEO & FILM FEST 2021​​​​​​

The "Saalheimer Graupel" describes an unexplored weather phenomenon in an otherwise seemingly demystified world. While water was still assigned to mother goddesses in antiquity and later sleet processions, weather blessings and rain baptisms were celebrated, it seems nowadays you have to search for strange watering places like "Saalheim" to connect with climate and environment - this movie shows what I got to find there.

what gardens do we built, to be with ourselves?
who do we meet when nobody is there? 
it's easy to distance in a hole 
it's easy to be alone in a garden
