ABC
ABC is a journey through 25 years of film work, a visual alphabet, so to speak. A depicts Ludwig Wüst’s first trip to Egypt where his desire to become a filmmaker was born when these unplanned shots were taken. B deals with the central topic of Wüst’s life: friendship. C is a poetic condensation on the question of our existence. ABC is three films that now come into the world.

“About three years ago, during the first Covid lockdown, I began to sift through film fragments in my archive that had been lying there for many years, awaiting an upcoming exploitation. In the process, I came across my very first video works, made in 1999 in Cairo and the Egyptian desert in preparation for my debut film Ägyptische Finsternis. [...] Now the desire arose to use these recordings for a new, as yet untitled work. A second unreleased film fragment, very important to me personally, with the working title CAIN & ABEL was made with friends in the summer of 2018 in a quarry near Gießhübl and has since been waiting to be realized as a feature-length film. [...] In the summer of 2021, I began [...] to work with analog film. I took a Super8 camera and went to Bavaria to my hometown. During those summer days, I made my first analog recordings, a very important moment for me. [...] These analog Super8 images will remain.“
