Conversations through the video camera viewfinder. In Dear Doc, images from Route One/USA that still bear time codes intermingle on the monitor with casual glimpses of the production of the film and the creation of its score as well as with material from Kramer's milieu. Berlin 10/90 is the result of a brief Kramer received to film a one-hour sequence shot: he is in the city where his father worked as a doctor and his mother studied at the Bauhaus 60 years previously: "I was free to choose any topic, anywhere in the world. I was a guest of the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) in Berlin, and the end of the Cold War, the collapse of the USSR, the fall of the Berlin Wall and German reunification definitely seemed to me to provide more than one subject for such an approach. And of course there was the Gulf War, which is inextricably linked to the film." (V.P.)
