Tricks

Tricks — Plot

In this essay film, Marie Luise Lehner works with clips of archive material from the Film Museum. We see a circus show in which one titular trick follows the next. However, not only acrobats are involved, but also a number of animals that have long since been banned from circus rings. These images are juxtaposed with the director's questions about people, the environment and politics, allowing for a range of interpretations that are up to the viewer.
