A line – drawn directly onto the film by Urs Graf. A film that makes no explicit statements, but in which one can (optionally) have an experience – for other lines/images/words. The continuous dissolution of the content always leads back to the medium (the line). Experiencing the medium as a medium allows one to more consciously find access to the meaning behind other lines/images/words.
Eine Linie ist eine Linie ist eine Linie

Quotations from the brochure of a school for actors: “We expect the students to use the free space at school to explore the roles they play in their everyday lives, but also all that is alien to them, both the imaginable and the unimaginable.” And: “It is said that an actor’s school is a place to discover what Man is, and what he might become despite everything.” In the words of Kathrin Bohny: “I never thought of training to be an actress in that way, but I'm curious to find out how it will be.” The film: a young woman, learning to know herself, and of what she is capable. The wide path she follows, in the four years that her training as an actress lasts.
