Hölderlin’s Echo

Hölderlin’s Echo 2023 Directed by Susanne Marschall , Hannes Rall Hölderlins Echo

An experimental documentary by Susanne Marschall and Hannes Rall

The documentary Hölderlin's Echo approaches the life and work of the well-known poet in an unusual way: In the real film parts, artists are observed and interviewed who interpret the numerous settings of Hölderlin's poems by well-known composers. Animated sequences interpret biographical sections of Hölderlin's moving life in poetic associative form. In the combination of both art forms, a complete work is created that consciously moves away from more conventional forms of geographical chronology and thus also tries to do justice to associative poetry.
