Jurybegründung Original: The prizewinning film is a captivating work that captures the mechanically modified landscape in the process of becoming a football field through precise composition, montage, and rhythm. Underneath the filmmaker’s formalistic approach that echoes with the stringent norms imposed by the Deutsches Institut für Normung (German Institute for Standardisation), the work evokes questions around who decides these standards, and how they are implemented, and at what cost. As we witness the laborious exercise, we are also reminded about the senselessness in the way humans re-shape our landscape, and our society, for economic and superfluous purposes. Form is political.
