Renowned American independent filmmaker James Benning abandons, for the first time in his career, 16mm for digital format in his first film shot entirely out of his country. His desintation is the Ruhr Valley in Germany, a region historically identified with coal mining, heavy industry, and work, in addition to a high flux of immigrants. Exploring the landscapes of this territory that is unknown to him, Benning captures a line of equilibrium between transformation and permanence in places replete with contrasts and plurality - like Duisburg, site of a steel mill and a mosque. And he finds a connecting thread between work, culture, and art in this film that is also about the complex process of composing images.
