Jem Cohen, maker of impressive and era-defining, truly independent films, has created a huge body of work too large to list, but it includes Benjamin Smoke, Instrument, This Is a History of New York (The Golden Age of Reason), Museum Hours, Lost Book Found, and Chain. He is honoring Wolf with a visit to present his latest film, Little, Big, and Far—screening for the first time in Germany.

Austrian astronomer Karl is at a crossroads in his life and work. He finds his physicist wife growing distant and his job being reshaped by environmental crises, as thoughts about science, fascism, and his grandson’s future spin above his head. After attending a conference in Greece, Karl decides not to return home and heads for a small island in hopes of finding a dark enough sky to reconnect with the stars. Abandoned at a remote mountain trail, he ascends and waits for darkness to fall.

Magical. Captures all the glories of the universe.- Dustin Chang, Screen Anarchy

Moments of sheer beauty… By broadening his imagery to include those obtained from actual outer space, and placing it within the tapestry of his feature, Cohen suggests that modern cinema, unshackled from genre, is more powerful than we may give it credit for.-Conor Williams, Reverse Shot

Critic’s Pick! Achingly beautiful… [a] film about astronomers and humanity and love and the stars… Feels spiritually nourishing in a way few films can manage. - Alissa Wilkinson, The New York Times
