Georg Winter´s UCS moving pictures:: Losing Horses. – Scene 1: The Stommeln windmill
In September 2005, the German-Hungarian film production “Losing Horses / Veszítö Lovak” by Ukiyo Camera Systems moving pictures was shot at locations in Pulheim and Stommeln, not far from Cologne. Georg Winter´s Real-Time Recording Method attempted to create filmic situations (Self Organizing Cinema) based on the construction of the reality of “Don Quixote” by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra. The filming was accompanied by photographs by Lisa Biedlingmaier, which were then graphically translated by Tünde Kovács.
