Brace for Impact: Festivaltrailer 2019
Brace for impact! Bereitmachen für den Aufprall! Die Kommandos der FlugbegleiterInnen
sind eindringlich und unmissverständlich. Notfall! Sitzgurte öffnen! Schwimmweste anziehen! Raus! Dichter Rauch quillt in
die Kabine. Es bleibt keine Zeit zum Überlegen. Im diesjährigen Crossing Europe Trailer begleitet Leni Gruber TeilnehmerInnen
eines Flugsicherheitstrainings und zeigt in dokumentarischen Aufnahmen eine simulierte Bruchlandung. Proben für den Ernstfall.
Brace for impact! The commands from the flights attendants are insistent and cannot be misunderstood. Emer-gency! Open your
safety belts! Put on your life vests! Out! Thick fog seeps into the cabin. There is no time left to think. In this year’s
Crossing Europe trailer, Leni Gruber accompanies participants in a flight safety training and shows a simu-lated crash landing
in documentary foot-age. Rehearsal for the emergency.
