About the film:

Meryl Tankard, a young Australian, has been living and working as a dancer with Tanztheater Wuppertal for three years. Her view of the city, of people, her memories of the other continent, a different culture, different colours, sounds and temperatures – that’s what the film tells about.

Bettina Woernle’s dance film was awarded the Filmband in Gold, screened at the 1983 Berlinale and is not only a wonderfully stylised 47-minute journey, but also a contemporary testimony to the special city of Wuppertal in the 1980s.

More about the programme:

Director Bettina Woernle and dancer Urs Kaufmann will be present at the event. Presentation: Kim Münster

Before „Sydney an der Wupper – Dreamtime“, the short film „Shape shifter“ by Magdalena Häufler will be shown. Magdalena Häufler is a student of audiovisual media design at the University of Wuppertal and is currently preparing her bachelor’s film.
