The film "Nothing for Eternity" is a long-term observation by Britta Wandaogo filmed over 15 years. A radically personal - from the filmmaker's point of view - told a love and family story about her drug addicted brother Dirk. Both grew up in the Ruhr area . In 2011, Britta Wandaogo describes her work in the catalog of the Duisburg Film Week :
“My first video camera in 1993. Dirk and I sit in bed and film each other. I say to him: "I am now 27 years old and totally exhausted, but before that I will bring my little brother to HIGH!" Whatever my plan at the time was to capture our life with the camera "in between" was protection and memory at the same time . I had a closeness with Dirk, a sense of humor that may only exist between brother and sister. His heroin addiction was a side effect we both had to live with, always carried by the thought that he would somehow get out of there. In the summer of 2010, I started opening boxes of tapes, raw footage and little private scenes that I had never watched before. Everything came back to life. "
Reviews
“A film like a relapse. Or is that not true? It seldom happens that I'm so shaken in the cinema, and even more seldom that I ride an emotional roller coaster at one of the Duisburg discussions. Is that woman up there on the podium who has just shown us the life and death of her heroine-addicted brother in comfort? Is the film consolation? I don't know what fascinates me more: The calm, clear and direct way in which Britta Wandaogo deals with questions about her film, or the thought of what kind of development the woman has undergone, how she made it, not only to survive, but at the same time within and outside of the petty-bourgeois specifications of their origin. At the end of the discussion, I am more than thrilled. And in my own arrogance I once again experienced a damper: You can obviously feel the world, not just classify it. "
