Heimat Is A Space In Time - Film Tickets

Heimat Is A Space In Time is a documentary project led by the late director Thomas Heise (1955–2024). The film, released in 2019, offers a powerful collage of archival documents—letters, diaries, photographs, and landscapes—read aloud by Heise himself. It runs 218 minutes and has earned wide recognition on the international festival circuit, including the Caligari Film Prize at Berlinale Forum 2019, the Sesterce d'Or for Best Feature at Visions du Réel 2019, and the Deutsche Dokumenarfilmpreis (Main Prize) in 2019. As a performer and the central voice of this project, Heimat Is A Space In Time stands as a landmark in contemporary documentary cinema, reflecting on memory, history, and identity through intimate archival material. In 2025, the film remains active on the festival circuit and streaming platforms, with appearances at the Jerusalem Film Festival (panorama with on-site director), Weimarer Rendezvous, and ICA UK streaming windows.

Biography: Born from the collaborative energy of archival material and Heise’s distinctive narration, Heimat Is A Space In Time functions as both a reflective essay and a historical record. The project sits at the intersection of documentary cinema and theater, a space in which memory is curated through letters, diaries, and images that illuminate personal and collective histories. Heise’s work as a filmmaker and educator—teaching at institutions in Karlsruhe and Vienna—shaped a rigorous approach to documentary storytelling, emphasizing ethical archival handling and a poetically restrained voice. The performer’s role is central: the author-read voice that binds disparate sources into a cohesive, contemplative experience for the audience.
