SEARCHfilm is the ongoing collaboration between Angela Bedekovic and Matthias Grunsky.
Working almost entirely as a duo, their projects explore human behaviour, perspective,
and what goes unnoticed – without judgment, and with attention to form.
The documentary follows the path of tourists to cities, vacation resorts, and events in Europe. The filmmakers observe from a certain distance with a deliberate abstinence of words or comment, reflecting on personal longings and the touristic machinery.

Before World War II the 3 sisters Mia, Uschi, and Martha were born in the former German city of Wrocław, which became Polish in 1945. They have been shaped by poverty, National Socialism, war, and escape, but also by peace, reconstruction, and an affluent society of Germany. The detailed stories they tell us in front of the camera, 75 years after World War II has ended, are as individual as the 3 sisters themselves.

The question of meaning seems to occupy humanity since the beginning of time and the answers are as diverse as the human beings themselves. But what happens when one tries to examine that question from a non-human perspective?
Filmmakers Bedekovic/Grunsky attempt this experiment by creating the character X and travelling with it through Europe.
A multifaceted view of the world – real and surreal, analytical and poetic.
