NEUE WELT is a two-minute-cut from Straub/Huillet’s film BLACK SIN, their return to Hölderlin’s “Empedocles” and the Etna. It is a dark political text and the characters that have remained walk on black ashes like ghosts of another world. It is a text of farewell and remembrance. At the end of BLACK SIN, a strange woman replaces the vanished, conjures up the “living spirit” and wishes for “a flood after the drought”. And at that point Hölderlin’s fragment also falls silent.
