In & Out - Texta
What interested me most was making a vivid portrait of an artist collective
that has been making music together for two decades. How do the individual protagonists tick, where are ideas and ideals,
conflicts and wounds hidden? […] At the same time, I wanted to make a film that people who are not TEXTA fans could watch
too, because what is central is not the band’s music, but rather their texts and the subject matter of the songs. TEXTA prove
to be precise chroniclers of our society, and they have no inhibitions about political and abstract subject matter. The film
seeks to find its own visual interpretation of hip hop culture, in order to question the prefabricated media perception of
this music. […] (Dieter Strauch)
