Ava Lanche / Germany

The German Silence, by Ava Lanche, is an effective denunciation against the handling of information by the media. Its title refers to the olympic silence (of the media) about the various abuses against human rights perpetrated throughout the world at the same time that these (the media) express themselves with solemn diplomacy about prolonged periods of peace that do not exist . The director lets the objects ring but not the voices, clearly criticizing the materialistic world of the present, where dehumanization is a flagrant characteristic but of little importance to humans themselves. The images of its four minutes, as the cinema demands, say much more than the long parliaments of several of the short films presented that date.
