L'Épopée de la Grande Région

History/Knowledge, Germany/Luxembourg 2011

Composed of three 52 minutes documentaries, this collection brought together filmmakers from 3 different countries: Donato Rotunno (Luxembourg), Rüdiger Mörsdorf (Germany) and Stéphane Bubel (France), which have long worked together on all 3 films, discussing their respective films to overcome stereotypes that everyone can relate to the culture of others while asserting their own vision of things. If the Grande Région were told to me... "Once upon a time, there was a rather strange territory that stretched along the Moselle and the Saar, stopping at the borders of the blue line of the Vosges, the Ardennes, the Eifel, and the Taunus. Its inhabitants were goblins, gnomes, elves and nutons, but they were also known as frontiersmen. Strangely enough, this territory did not have a name. And yes, the border is not a name for a country"... Every town, every territory has its legend. The Grande Région is no exception, and in order to exist it also needs to tell its own story. Between the imaginary and the real, this documentary takes the form of a marvellous tale for children and adults alike. A story to explore the myth of the Grande Région.
