04/06/2017 , Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung The woman who makes a wave - her 'primordial competence' is the comedy, says Frankfurt director Annette Ernst. But she can also be different.
"Annette Ernst knows about waves. After all, water is her subject. For years, she has been doing research for a documentary film project called 'water & soul', which traces water and its value in the world. A philosophical, ecological and highly political topic at the same time. This is one of the reasons why the screenplay, which won the Hessian Film Prize in 2009 and has undergone all kinds of changes since then, has still not become a film. (...) 'For me, documentary film means a personal expression on a topic', says Ernst. (…)
Sometimes making films is like making water: it finds its way."
