Gieselmann
“How do you become who you are? Dirk Gieselmann believes that it's through the insults you experience. And after many years, he called those who robbed him of the feeling that he was something special.”
Synopsis
Freelance journalist and author Dirk Gieselmann believes that identity is shaped by the slights one experiences. One evening, he is alone in his apartment, with his camera set up in front of him, recording himself. He begins by introducing himself and announces his intention to call three people. During the subsequent phone calls, he confronts his interlocutors with past encounters, experiences of ruthlessness, and the accusation that they contributed to his expulsion from the paradise of childhood. That evening, he seeks to understand the reasons behind these slights and hopes to find meaning in them. He realizes that his childhood has finally ended and reflects on the world of thoughts that surrounded him as a child. He is then surprised by an unexpected call from his family.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 8
These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.
Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
