Houwelandt - Ein Roman entsteht (2005)

(Feature-length documentary, 107 minutes — the title freely translates into "Houwelandt — The Birth of a Novel".)

Here we have a documentary written and directed by Jörg Adolph about, as the title states, the creation of a novel (cover below).

John von Düffel is an award-winning German author, and Adolph's film follows him during the creation and subsequent publication and reception of his novel Houwelandt. As the Berlin newspaper Der Tagesspiegel points out: "He who believes that novels are still written by literary geniuses alone in a silent closet is a knave. Today, the author presents the publisher with a concept draft before starting to write."
We did the subtitles, contracted by Subs Hamburg.
