synopsis<\/p>\n

Various thoughts from commuters were being collected by giving them a voice recorder – to be used while standing in traffic jams. They sit and stand – and they reflect their situation.<\/p>\n

Yes…, he seems to be bored. Ho, he has got something to eat. That\u2018s mean. He is immediately looking at me! That\u2018s funny. I mean, I was staring a little flashily, but he was looking in a completely other direction, and now he is all excited, because I am looking at him! …I am even not goggling anymore, but he still is! He and his wife…<\/p>\n

The car next to you, animals and own memories get into their spotlight and form short fragments of curiosity, surprise, boredom or sadness. To start talking they could use some questions: Imagine a possible chat going on in the car next to you? What does the word “public” means to you? On what remembers you the view out of the right window?<\/p>\n

The current traffic jam phase is … Impatience! Impatience till being fed up now. Okay? Anyway, there are several different traffic jam phases. At the beginning, no-one knows what\u2018s up. Everything is quite tense. It\u2018s about hope, okay? Hopefully that won\u2018t be any bigger action going on! And, at a certain point, the mood is chan- ging, okay? We\u2018ve been reaching that point since ten minutes… So, now every road user knows that we are standing in a 16 km long traffic jam. That means: Disaffection is a big subject at the moment! <\/p>\n

A quite famous traffic jam highway is the Gotthard-Autobahn in Switzerland. Every July and August thousands of tourist keep standing here for hours. Unlike the common highway surrounded with noise barriers, you have some view.
\nThe film compares these views and their reference to the old german Autobahn, nicely reclining in the landscape, with a situation of waiting and tried reflections. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
