Rückblickend betrachtet

In Retrospect

1970. An entire small town is being built for the Summer Olympics in Munich. It includes a subway station, a stadium, a swimming pool, a residential area and the largest shopping mall in Europe at the time – the Olympia shopping mall. Many migrant workers, so-called “guest workers”, are employed on the construction site.
2016. Nine people are murdered in a right-wing terrorist attack at the Olympia shopping mall in Munich. All the victims have a migrant background. 1982. Sohrab Shahid Saless, an Iranian director, shoots a film in West Germany as a response to the rapid increase in racism. The characters in the film walk past houses, walls and facades smeared with far-right slogans. The colours flicker shrilly and fade again. Rückblickend betrachtet is an attempt to look back and search for connections that link a space and its history.
