PASSION – BETWEEN REVOLT AND RESIGNATION
Christian Labhart
A documentary that reflects on the unfulfilled aspirations of global change from nearly five decades ago. The film intertwines personal experiences with global events, exploring themes such as climate change, wars, overconsumption, refugee crises, and inequality. Set against the backdrop of J.S. Bach's St. Matthew Passion, it incorporates writings from authors like Franz Kafka, Bertolt Brecht, Slavoj Žižek, and Ulrike Meinhof to question the current state of the world and the dominance of capitalism. Labhart crafts a poignant essay on contemporary fears and the frequent emergence of new conflicts, urging contemplation on potential escapes from the prevailing capitalist dynamics.
