Gabriele Stellbaum (Germany) – Song of Myself, 2015, 1:54
“Song of Myself” focuses on the home coming of an American soldier. In slow motion it repeats the reunion of the family, while flash backs of the aftermath of his war mission interrupt the scene. The voice over is based on excerpts of Walt Whitman’s poetry “Song of Myself” that was originally written during the shock of the First World War.
