PLAYLAND USA
PLAYLAND USA
Director:
Benjamin Schindler
Benjamin Schindler’s documentary is a fascinating journey to a familiar but unknown country in which the lines between fact and fi ction, past and present and dreams and real states of experience are blurred. A journey into the collective memory of collapsing societies. A journey into the post-truth era. PLAYLAND USA shines a light onto the continuing loss of touch with reality in the US. The States export entertainment worldwide; how are they shaped by their own stories? Scenes of fantasy and magic collide with references to current issues like racism, populism and gun violence. Intense images and sound frames create an associative movie from the conquest of the new world to the settlement of foreign planets.

No matter how much we would like to look forward to what’s coming and how much we are concerned or interested in the projects that are coming up(...)
