Chicago – Back in 2006, an unprecedented film project took place in Berlin, Germany, in the infamous Bebelplatz, a plaza that once hosted Nazi book burnings. The idea was to get 112 diverse individuals together to answer 100 questions. Their answers were processed by Ralf Schmerberg, the director of the resultant film, “Problema.”
The film has finally seen the light of day this year, distilled from thousands of hours of Q&A footage. The co-moderator of the event was actor Willem Dafoe, who shared the duties of asking the questions with Hafsat Abiola, as a camera at each of the 112 stations recorded the answers. The German plaza in Berlin, once the center of heinous fascist activities, became a specially constructed roundtable of philosophical thought and pragmatic advice.
