Work on and with archives stands at the center of the collaborative films of Sirah Brutmann und Eitan Efrat. For both Printed Matter and Journal, photographs from the image archive of press photographer Andre Brutmann were used as departure points.

In Printed Matter we see a pair of hands repeatedly laying contact sheets onto a lightbox, and a voice offscreen comments on the images. On the contact sheets we see political demonstrations and State meetings, but also very personal family scenes. We travel through Israel and Palestine between 1982 to 2002; political events are reactivated, and to some extent, so are the images of Sirah Brutmann?s childhood.

In Journal, a sequence shot shows us a track through an exhibition. In the exhibition hangs a row of variously sized photographs; the camera wends its way through an otherwise empty room, lingeringly observing the photographs. Depicted are official visits to the Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial in Jerusalem. The manoeuvres of the handheld camera are connected to physical exertion and concentration, from time to time we can hear the laboured breathing of someone behind the camera.

For Nude Descending a Staircase, Brutmann and Efrat have edited together videos found on the internet. They are recordings of pilgrimages: arrival in Portbou/Spain, a trip through the city, and, finally, Dani Karavan?s 1994 memorial to Walter Benjamin, ?Passagen?. For minutes at a time we see through a camera lens that appears to descend on a single point, the steep steps of the memorial that lead down to the sea.
