Fausto (2018, Andrea Bussmann)

This Fausto is to me like an intellectual easter-egg hunt. I started to understand the concept of Bussmann after I read an interview with her on Mubi. But I am still not very interested in this work. Different people tell stories about different people. There is e.g.  one about a navigator who makes indigenous people believe, that his God will burn up the moon, because the deity was angry with them. Yes - a lunar eclipse. In the interview we learn that the navigator is Columbus. Yes, that Columbus, a man reaching out for more. A Faustian character?
There are also stories about the supernatural, haunted houses, a girl having a conversation with an angry animal in a zoo. If you find the easter eggs, you might get insight into something. You hear also about animals with perfect sight at night and that they can't be domesticated. Or about two almost identical graves in a graveyard. And a voice-off that should lead your ideas to Goethe's Lynkæus.
Different ideas hidden in the head of Bussmann and very little help to tidy up her playground. There is very impressive camera work.
Festivalscope gave me one chance to make sense of this. After my chance to see this, I am confused and not really inclines to give it a second chance to find out what this was all about.

Bussmann was intrigued by her camera's abilities tro catch light at night.
