Wechselspiel – Wenn Peter Stamm schreibt(2023)

Wechselspiel – Wenn Peter Stamm schreibt is a documentary film that blurs the line between observer and observed. Two filmmakers set out to document Swiss writer Peter Stamm's creative process, only to discover they've become characters in the very novel he's writing. As Stamm weaves their lives into his fiction, the project transforms into a playful and unsettling exploration of artistic control, narrative manipulation, and the power dynamics between creator and subject. The film captures the strange dance between reality and invention, raising questions about who truly holds the pen when a writer decides to make his documentarians part of the story. It's a clever, meta-examination of how literature can consume those who attempt to capture it.
