Programme

ASCONA
Dir. Julius Dommer | 15 mins | Germany
ASCONA shows a place that seems to have fallen out of time, that has not changed since the 1950s but still exists. A miniature golf course becomes a social analysis analogy. ASCONA shows protagonists who with dry humour describe the beginnings and difficulties of the course and the sport – between leisure and professional sport. Reflecting the conversatism of the 1950s ASCONA features a cross-section of society.
