Alfonsina poster
NR

This warm documentary narrates the intense life of Alfonsina Storni. A polyphony of intentional voices to account for the impossible: the first person who narrates to refer to the voice of the poet; his great-granddaughter recites from the present; several testimonies of their biographies explain their behaviors, their positions, their tendencies. However, the interesting thing is that nobody can give an exact account of who Alfonsina was and how she thought.

Paul Nizon: Der Nagel im Kopf poster
NR

The film tells of the radical life-search by the Swiss writer Paul Nizon, born 1929 in Bern, Switzerland, who became what “he was meant to be” in Paris. Now 90-year-old, Paul Nizon grants insights into his life and work in a self-ironic, direct manner. The intimate portrait of a great literary outsider emerges, for whom the risk of life and the risk of writing merge into one and the same work of art.
