Intro Gabba Hell at Work «The documentary of the 2002 Berlin Love Parade, from the perspective of three sites on the hidden sidelines of this techno jamboree. Using one uninterrupted shot apiece and without dialogue or commentary, the director uses the original sounds and sites, consisting mainly of music and a few scraps of overheard conversations. Karmakar’s film collects impressions of the various musical styles that fall under the loosely defined term «Techno». The music, the dancers, the locations and a DJ take the foreground here. The first Love Parade took place in 1989 with just 150 participants. In 2002, well over half a million participants «demonstrated» in the event described officially as a House Music Demonstration for Tolerance, Respect and Understanding among Nations.» [Catalogue, Göteborg Film Festival 2004] Portal über den Film about the film |
