Catalogue information
4 Elements poetically depicts man in his struggle with the four elements. Four places on earth where companionship and mutual trust are still of vital importance. In Fire, Russian firefighters fight wildfires in Siberia. In Water, fishermen in Alaska are lifting king crabs from the Bering Sea. In Earth, a shortened version of Untertage, we follow German miners. In the final part, Air, we follow the physically and mentally torturous training sessions of the cosmonauts and astronauts before their launch to the International Space Station. 4 Elements is Jiska Rickels' first full-length documentary. She was awarded at many film festivals for her graduation film Untertage.
