PROD Alexander Dumreicher-Ivanceanu, Bady Minck, Matthias Müller

Matthias Müller’s short is based on the poems to childhood by famed Austrian lyrical artist Ernst Jandl who tried to write these poems in a language used by children, including nursery rhymes and prayers. Müller uses found footage and amateur films from his own childhood to create a visual equivalent to these poems. —IMDb
