[Fiction Field II] World on a Wire

[arturo]

This is a documentary by Juliane Lorenz on the making of the film "World on a Wire" (1973) by R. W. Fassbinder which has recently been restored after being "lost" for more than 10 years. It is a clear predecessor of films such as The Matrix but made when the concept of a personal computer was not in the public's mind.



This is Juliane Lorenz (Fassbinder's editor and the head of the Fassbinder Foundation) talking about his working method, with some shots showing him at work on the set of "Berlin Alexanderplatz",  a 14 episode TV film, totaling 15 1/2 hour film, which according to IMDb is the longest narrative ever made (I have not confirmed that)
