Hello

In Austria the word "Hallo" is used not only as a greeting, but also as an expression of surprise and acknowledgement. Dietmar Brehm chose this title for his film, as a reference to the moment he found some footage which inspired him: a 16mm Soviet movie from WWII. A 39-second sequence from it was mounted in a loop. In Hello the glaring artillery fire tearing into the black night sky surpasses its historical context. It takes on an abstract beauty which Brehm puts into new perspective by means of the soundtrack.
