 Ister - Hans-Jürgen Syberberg, Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe
A journey from the mouth of the Danube river in Romania to its source in the Black Forest inspired by a lecture course delivered by Martin Heidegger on Fredrich Hölderlin in Germany in 1942, the year the Nazis settled on the 'Final Solution'.
The lecture course focused on a poem by Hölderlin: The Ister.
Marrying a sweeping philosophical narrative with a classic European pilgrimage, The Ister invites its audience to participate in some of the most provocative questions of contemporary philosophy.

 Draggin' The River: The Ister
The Ister is a river journey from the mouth of the Danube in Romania, through the war shattered “former Miss Yugoslavia”, into Hungary, Austria and finally into Germany, to the source of the Danube.
The Ister is dense with the kind of active synthetic looking of which Chris Marker is the absolute master: a panoptic assemblage that arises as a rondo of images that are introduced fleetingly, and then returned at the proper moment to present their meaning in context.
Heidegger is often seen as a simplistic opponent of technology, but in “The Ister” lecture we find this surprising statement concerning that new river upon whose banks we have chosen to settle upon: “Modern Machine technology is spirit, and as such is a decision concerning the actuality of everything actual.

 Minneapolis - St. Paul International Film Festival CALENDAR
By then an embattled figure in the world of philosophy, Heideggr’s lectures took the Ister as a leaping-off point for a philosophical inquiry into the chaosof modern Germany even as its future went up in smoke.
At 189 minutes, The Ister is both a visual and intellectual feast unlike any other you will see, at once rigorous and yet strangely elating.
The Ister is the debut film for both Barison and Ross.

 The Chronicle: 6/10/2005: Time and the River (and Heidegger)
The poem is among the "hymns" written by Hölderlin to glorify the philosophical legacy of ancient Greece through a mystical meditation on the Danube.
Indeed, as Heidegger wrote the lectures on "The Ister" in 1942, the Nazis were putting their "final solution" into place, the United States was entering the war, and Germany's invasion of Russia was stalled.
Dronsfield particularly likes another irony in The Ister: It is a film about a philosopher who, in his "Ister" lectures, lamented that "Americanism" and mechanization, particularly cinema, were coming to negate "living experience" of art.

THE ISTER takes up some of the most challenging paths in Heidegger's thought, as we journey from the mouth of the Danube River in Romania to its source in the Black Forest.
Winding through the shattered remains of the former Yugoslavia, through a Hungary busily restoring its national mythology, and through a Germany that is both the heart of the new Europe and the ghost of the old one, the Danube itself is the question of the film.
In addition to its mentally stimulating, at times even challenging, philosophical discourse, THE ISTER features stunning natural vistas along the nearly 2,000-mile length of one of Europe's major rivers, as well as ancient Greek ruins, the Mauthausen concentration camp, Yugoslavian bridges devastated by NATO bombings, and King Ludwig's Walhalla temple.

 BBC - Films - The Ister
A philosophical investigation in to the nature of being and time, covering everything from palaeontology to the Internet to genocide, The Ister is the challenging debut film from Australian philosophy students David Barison and Daniel Ross.
Erudite and initially rather imposing, The Ister presupposes some knowledge of Heidegger, as philosophers Bernard Stiegler, Jean-Luc Nancy, Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe and Hans-Jürgen Syberberg chat independently about one of his most influential themes: the impact of technology on memory, culture and historical identity.
The film's masterstroke is the Danube river trip undertaken by the filmmakers, as the winding route allows them to expand the film beyond the merely academic, taking in the impact of NATO bombing raids on Yugoslavia, former Nazi concentration camps, and lessons in ancient history stretching back to Greek and Roman times.

The unfinished Ister hymn was written around 1803.
When his health continued to suffer, and after a period of institutionalisation, Hölderlin moved into the home of a carpenter in Tübingen, where he lived from 1807 until his death in 1843.
The middle part of the lecture course is a reading of Sophocles' Antigone, which Heidegger undertakes because of the importance of this text for grasping the meaning of Hölderlin's poetry.

Sure, the first one would be a simple collage with Nuremberg rally footage, but thoughtful folks might also use the footage to make videos discussing their favorite passages from The Ister lectures, or make an entertaining homage to Jerome K. Jerome.

Rather than a simple celebration of verse, Heidegger's talks used The Ister as a jumping-off point for discussions of technology, cultural identity, political change, and the war which then gripped both Germany and the world.
The Ister explores how many of Heidegger's notions have retained currency as the filmmakers interview Jean-Luc Nancy, Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe, Bernard Stiegler, and Hans-Jürgen Syberberg.

 Guardian Unlimited Film | Reviews | The Ister
Part travelogue up the Danube from mouth to source, part meditation on writings by Martin Heidegger, this three-hour documentary is not for the faint-hearted.
The title is borrowed from a poem by German Friedrich Hölderlin (1770-1843); Ister being the Danube's classical Greek name, that in turn gave rise to a series of lectures Heidegger gave at the height of the second world war.
Heidegger, of course, is forever tainted by his enthusiastic embrace of Nazism; here, with considerable rigour, a series of French philosophers attempt to grapple with his thought.
