Synopsis
OVER YOUR CITIES GRASS WILL GROW bears witness to German artist Anselm Kiefer's alchemical creative processes and renders a film journey through the universe of Kiefer's studio estate, La Ribaute, in the South of France. This strange, sprawling village extending over 35 hectares combines working studios, a network of tunnels, caves, underground pools, a crypt and an amphitheatre.
Shot in cinemascope, the film enters into direct contact with the materials Kiefer employs to build his works – lead, concrete, ash, acid, earth, glass and gold. Here creation and destruction are interdependent.
