Hiwwe wie Driwwe - Pfälzisch in Amerika / 2019

400,000 Americans speak Palatinate German? Douglas Madenford, born and raised in Pennsylvania, looks for traces in his homeland and the Palatinate in the documentary "Hiwwe wie Driwwe" by Benjamin Wagener and Christian Schega. Doug meets many people and learns what is left of the Palatine language and culture in America and how it has developed "hiwwe like driwwe" here in Germany and beyond in America. About 300 years ago, many people from the Palatinate fled because of political persecution and economic reasons to the United States and mainly settled in and around Pennsylvania. They also brought their language and culture to the New World. Both have largely survived to this day. In America, people still speak their variant of the Palatinate dialect: the so-called Pennsylvania Dutch.

Aerial America - Amerika von oben: New-England-Collection / 2014

Heaven’s Gate: Amerikánka / 2020

3 American LPs / 1969

Another short was 3 American LPs, which was the first film I did with Peter Handke. It was a film about American music, about three pieces of three LPs. There was a song by Van Morrison, another by Harvey Mandel, and one of Credence Clearwater Revival. It was mainly the music and some shots out of a car, landscapes out of the car window. And it had a little bit of commentary – dialogue between Peter and me about American music and about how American rock music was about emotion and images instead of sounds. That is to say, about a kind of phenomenon, that it was in a way a kind of film music, but without a moving picture. It was a 12-minute film and it was never shown. – Wim Wenders
