Zum Glück gibt's kein Patent- Director: Monika Funke-Stern
CGiii Comment
Norma DIn works in the Patent office. Her life is dominated by the daily toil at her post and the abstract presentation of inventions that she must read without context. Norma DIN is personally affected by two new patents. She has the job of patenting a music box with a living puppet and a »robot« that will one day replace patent officers like her. Luckily the bureaucratic regulations allow Norma DIN to declare both inventions nonpatentable.
As early as 1984, Monika Funke-Stern plays with a variety of video effects to create virtual reality and reproduction in this experimental film that thematizes »Self-alienation through work«.
