These six "making-of" videos were shot during our work on Deutschland 2071 in Cologne and Berlin with local participants, and feature interviews with some of the cast, as well as Kelly and Pavol during the process of making the work. They are an inside look at the kind of site-specific provisional theater that resulted in the final film.  You can see in these videos how the movement was, in fact, staged entirely backward (we later reversed the footage in post) -- so that everything appears to move strangely, but still "normally."

These last videos are outtakes from our work on Deutschland 2071, and some of the fun we had making the movie -- particularly during our time recording all the audio for the film and the radio play at WDR during our first week together with the cast.
