This piece had its world premiere as the opening film of the Hans Richter Tribute at Cinema Arsenal in the summer of 2003. The nine minutes of film are a compilation of all appearances of Hans Richter in Jonas’s films. The result is a new work, a singular contemporary document, which does not only capture Hans Richter, but shows him embedded in his environment.
