ALEKSANDER SAKOEROF, KAMER 333, LENFILM, ST.-PETERSBURG, 3 MEI, 1995, 15 UUR

When Lindemans saw his first film by Alexandr Sokurov he was completely off his rocker. While he had not understood a word the film had touched him deeply. So deeply that three years later he travelled to Leningrad to make a documentary on Sokurov in the Lenfilm studios. Lindemans: "He said I could drop by in May, when he would be in St. Petersburg. I went to see him and shot about 30 hours of tape. Way too much material to handle in the short editing time I had at my disposal. The solution was a make-shift video about a precise subject: Aleksander Sokurov editing his film ‘Spiritual Voices’. Meanwhile, the footage I shot about Sokurov is lying there, waiting for money and time."
