Day Is Done Page #2

Synopsis: A smokestack stubbornly pierces the sky. Trains rumble by down below. Lights come on in the buildings as night falls. There is a man behind the camera, looking for an image -- of himself? Of the world? Of society? By day and night, in rain and snow, he stands filming at the window of his studio. Periodically we hear people leaving messages on his answering machine. They talk about the weather while on vacation and congratulate him on his birthday. His father dies, a child is born, the young family begins to fall apart. Time passes. Slowly the cityscape morphs into the inner landscape of the man behind the camera.

project proposal, called Busyness.

I am very sorry,

I'm afraid that

at the editorial conference

yesterday, we rejected it.

But I wanted to

let you know right away,

so that you can carry on

applying for funding.

I'm really sorry.

But do get in touch again.

Until then, goodbye.

Hello, this is the Swiss Bank Association.

I am calling regarding

your film project Busyness

and I would like

to learn a little more about it.

This is Bank Leu, I'd like to take a look

at our building in Stettbach with you...

This is the Swiss Volksbank

getting back to your project.

We discussed it

with the executive board

and would like

to look at one or two of your films

before making a decision.

I just want to say

I'm sorry,

that it also hurts me

to hurt you so badly,

and that I...

can't really explain

why it escalated like that, but...

and...

This is Rolf.

Ciao Thomas.

How are you? I heard that

your father's sick. Give me a call.

We're here in Levkadas

and we're all fine.

Just want to say hello to you

and to Monika too.

Bye, bye, if you hear this message.

It's all... The weather's good

and so is the food

and it's an ugly boat,

but we're having a good time anyway.

Ciao Thomas, ciao.

Hello Thomas!

Well, we're back:

flew back today,

through thick, thick fog,

a real pea soup fog,

before landing in Zurich.

And now

it's 30(celsius) here, or 40.

And in Greece

it was between 250 and 300.

The water was very agreeable

and there was hardly any wind.

Just for a day or two - and

the crickets chirped like in summer.

I also saw a butterfly

and it was really

a beautiful

Indian summer,

the kind where you can really

get warmed up again.

Well, you were here at

some point, I think,

probably for the Viper Festival.

So, we'll hear from you soon.

Ciao Thomas.

Hello, it's me.

It's quarter past one and

I just got back from visiting Ariane

and found your message.

I'm going to Tai Chi tomorrow morning

at 9 with Edith, so I thought

I'd leave a message

on your answering machine,

so you won't worry, if I'm still

not at home tomorrow morning

or already out again...

Bye. Have a good start

and get up well.

He told me

I responded well to chemo,

I didn't say anything and...

he said we could continue

or interrupt the treatment;

we have to make

an intelligent decision.

I told him

I was actually for taking a break.

So he said, well good,

he was too.

And now the fact is...

the tumors are smaller,

parts have disappeared

but some are still there.

For the most part a bit smaller.

So, I wish you a nice evening.

Ciao Thomas.

Hi Thomas, just to let you know

that Thom... uh...father is in

St. Anna hospital. We had to come

Thomas Imbach

Thomas Imbach (born 1962) is an independent filmmaker based in Zürich, Switzerland. With his production company Bachim Films, Imbach produced his own work until 2007.

All of his films have been released theatrically and Imbach has won numerous awards for his work, both in Switzerland and abroad. With Well Done (1994) and Ghetto (1997) Imbach established his trademark audio-visual style, which is based on a combination of cinema- verité camera-work and fast-paced computer-controlled editing. His fiction features Happiness is a Warm Gun (nominated for the Golden Leopard at Locarno International Film Festival), as well as Lenz (2006), I was a Swiss Banker (2007) and the fictive autobiography Day is Done (2011) all premiered at the Berlinale. His latest feature film Mary Queen of Scots celebrated its premiere in Locarno and at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2013. more…
