Angela Skrimshire's "Appreciation of Edgar Reitz' Heimat Films" now published (January 19th 2009)

Dear HEIMAT-friends, many of you will remember Angela Skrimshire, living on the Scottish island Colonsay, from her contributions to the heimat123.net mailinglist-discussions of Heimat 3. Inspired initially by participating in those discussions, Angela has more recently been working on an essay, which she calls an "Appreciation” of the Trilogy . For that she has watched all the HEIMAT films again, and reflected on her direct personal experience and impressions of them.
The result of her work now is online simultaneously on heimat123.net and heimat123.de, as an e-book in pdf (1,42 MB). The document contains 129 pages and is written in English. For easier navigation the chapter and section headings are bookmarked as links to be accessed and expanded in the pdf “Bookmarks” panel, as well as from the table of contents. The work contains reflections on all films of the trilogy from different angles and approaches, e. g. about the way of telling the story, the use of colour and light, but also the characters' development over time and the history around them. All HEIMAT-friends will like it, I am sure.
Please respect Angelas copyright for the material, you are welcome to download and print it for personal use, but every further publishing or commercial use is prohibited.
