Chamissos Schatten
Ulrike Ottinger
2016 • Germany • 194’
In the 19th century, Adelbert von Chamisso, a German writer and naturalist, took a trip across the Russian Empire. Drawing inspiration from his notes and from early explorers as Georg Steller, Ottinger replicates that journey to the Bering Sea. This first chapter takes us through Alaska and the Aleutian Islands.
