Description:
The old freight station in Zürich once brought prosperity to the city. Its construction unleashed a flow of goods and allowed new access to the world. But 125 years later, this symbol of international exchange and movement is making way for control, isolation and national security. A new Prison and Police Centre is planned to rise in its place, designed to accommodate people awaiting deportation. Shooting entirely from his window, filmmaker Thomas Imbach observed the construction site for over seven years, eliciting life and beauty from the restless movement of machines and people who are reshaping the area.
