A PLACE IN THE WOODS: SOME FILMS OF JÜRGEN HEITER
by Claudia Siefen-Leitich
Jürgen Heiter’s films talk about something already shaped – about places. The bookshop “König“ in Cologne, the Rolandseck railway station – or the small town of Olevano in Italy. They do not present these places in a documentary way, but rather investigate the forces at these places, structures, movements, what the places do with the people and what the people do with the places.
