介绍：奥地利导演Nikolaus Geyrhalter用了2年时间，辗转于欧洲各国的大食品生产基地和工厂，拍摄了这部影片。他向我们展示了一个日常生活背面的关于食物的世界，在欧洲高度现代化的农业和畜牧业生产流水线下，一切有别于人们印象中的田园牧歌或是拖泥带水。事实上，这个世界高速，精确，冷静，整齐，它被各种各样的生产流水线、电脑、机器人、大机器以及我们-人所引导，无论是在农场，养殖场，还是在屠宰场，几乎每一项细小的操作都会伴随一种相应的机器，其分工细致令人叹为观止。影片极其详尽地展示了这些千奇百怪的机器是如何迅速准确地完成指令，而人，被置于某种和机器同等的地位。

Outstanding film - if you only see one German film, see this one, 4 December 2004

This is my favourite German film - if you get a chance to watch 'Goodbye Lenin' and 'Berlin Nachtgestalten' as well, you have pretty much a 360 degree panorama of life in Berlin after the Wende. Superb acting, and very funny, too. The beautiful thing about this film is that the humour, being largely visual, makes it very accessible to viewers whose German isn't so fluent.

《国家》是德国导演Hannes Appell 2010年拍摄的反集权制度的实验短片，以视觉特效为主，人物形象设计融汇了上世纪二、三十年代的特殊时代元素和当代风格。它的拍摄建立在切割边缘三维实时技术的基础上，反对暴政的主题理性地贯穿在前、后期制作中。采用实时3D引擎技术让导演在环境、灯光、摄影机移动设置等方面，有了更多的拍摄自由和及时的互动反馈。此片获得第八届VES AWARDS(视觉特效奖)学生单元特别视觉贡献奖的提名，也是导演Hannes Appell 为德国路维希堡电影学院拍摄的最后一部短片。

男主角在网上结识了一位女网友，二人一拍即合。可他死活也没想到，他约会的对象居然是——德国总理默克尔。本片创造性地用拼贴和涂鸦的方式表现人物的移动和表情，配以幽默风趣、辛辣讽刺的语言，不仅体现出十足的荒诞性，更淋漓尽致地展现了现代欧洲政坛的真实情况。
本片荣获2013年德国短片电影奖，并在2013年欧洲电影奖和欧洲电影学院奖的评奖中获得了最佳短片电影提名。
