The documentary MATTER OUT OF PLACE shows the legacies of human civilisation in places where they are out of place but nevertheless impossible to overlook. With sensitivity, Nikolaus Geyrhalter follows this trail around the globe and captures both absurd, beautiful, irritating and incomprehensible images. MATTER OUT OF PLACE is made for the big screen and at the same time a beautiful work of art as well as the material for profound conversations and musings. Rarely do film art and criticism of environmental destruction come together so symbiotically!

With the kind support of the Österreichisches Kulturforum Berlin (Austrian Cultural Forum Berlin).

Director's Biography:Documentary filmmaker Nikolaus Geyrhalter is known for his distinctive handwriting, which makes what is documented look like itself: he always directs the camera himself, gets by without commentary and does not add anything artificially to the captured images.
