OECONOMIA: Q&A with director Carmen Losmann

OECONOMIA
Writer/director: Carmen Losmann
Screening in KINO! Germany Now! Discover New Talent 2021
What is money? What are debts? What are the consequences of both? And how can images be found for them? Layer by layer, OECONOMIA reveals how the rules of the contemporary capitalist game systematically precondition growth, deficits, and concentrations of wealth. With praiseworthy shrewdness and rigor, director Carmen Losmann articulates in layman’s terms the more egregious aspects of capitalist economy rendered invisible by the prevalent media coverage. Her striking visual concept contrasts the glass transparency of financial institutions with their reflecting, glittering facades, which are almost completely inaccessible to outsiders. - Alissa Simon

Ningún sistema que no incorpore ni respete las Leyes Físicas de la Termodinámica podrá subsistir ni sostenerse jamás, y eso cuenta tanto para el capitalismo como para el socialismo. El gran problema de los grandes economistas (y de los economistas en general) es que carecen de una formación científica en Física lo suficientemente sólida como para incorporarla a sus creencias y dogmas sobre economía.
