roadside picnic is a film dealing with the world behind the horizon of the unthinkable. a negative utopy of the nuclear and industrial age, which is producing a selfmade thumb above all. pictures of Chernobyl, Fukushima and Deveczer/Kolontar (hungarian red mud disaster) are burnt into the collective memory and suggest an impression of the world after human acting made humans disappear. roadside was inspired by the great pictures of the film stalker by andrej tarkovsky, USSR 1979. the title is taken from the same named book of arkadi and boris strugatzki on which stalker was based. rosdside picnic 2011 by thomas redl, audiovisual concept gerald kofler, translation: alexandra reill, text1: maguerite duras, text 2,3: thomas redl, video sequences: gerald kofler, images: elena filatova, die zeit, faz
