Einschlafgeschichten ( Eisenbahn), Bedtime stories ( Railways) (1977) dir. Harun Farocki
As if pictures could think Einschlafgeschichten doesnt really speak of bridges or railroads but rather of two girls filling the space between daytime and dreamtime with a poetic game, an endless game, a game with no end. A game which can fade out without becoming fragmentary. Are you asleep , one of them asks at the end of a clip and the final shot is of the two, asleep; the game is over. The girls are played by Lara and Anna, Farockis daughters.
