Sophie Bösker

Beginning with the birth of her daughter Lotti, Sophie Bösker documents everyday life for three years and examines it in terms of the realization of a fifty-fifty model. Along for the ride are her partner Georg (“Superdaddy”) and a camera that serves as the director’s outlet: for confessions, complaints, outbursts of rage, and a battle rap.

Car-free Vienna in the year of 2120. China, a 95-year-old native from Vienna, who witnessed the extinction of the car in the green 20s only from fragmented stories by her parents as well as by her late wife, tells about her personal memories in ZEIT ZU GEHEN. China’s late wife, Reni, was a journalist and climate activist and had played a major role in the extinction of the automobile species. With the help of that knowledge she has gained through her wife and the nebulous machinations of her parents, China is making a first attempt to reconstruct the history of the extinct species.

The film tells a very personal story, the story of the director herself. It is a documentary about how she fled to her parents house at the beginning of the coronavirus crisis in spring 2020, where she spent the three months of lockdown in isolation with her parents. Unluckily back then, she was supposed to realize her master thesis, a film, but the pandemic made the realization of her actual concept impossbile. Hence she saw herself forced to radically change her concept and shoot the movie within their home. The result was the attempt to make a science fiction film with her parents in quarantine.
