Der Park

Video | 40 Min | 2007
followed by a discussion with the filmmakers Peter Spillmann,
Katja Reichard, Marion von Osten.

“It’s a highly distinct, self-enclosed world, like an island!”
“They don’t network, not even the staff.”

A camera moves through a park, picks up conversations, encounters a parking lot, architecture, a barrier, a cafe, a pond, people out for a stroll. It observes an up-and-coming location that seeks to be a political instrument. “The Park” portrays a compact economic and social model that appears to shape notions of the production of knowledge, culture and education. The film is based on research conducted in the Science & Technology Park Lakeside and in Carinthia.
