Selbst — an essay documentary by Daniel Haingartner

Who am I? And what is this “I”, anyway? These are among the most fundamental questions of our existence. In this cinematic essay, we set out in search of the self

and our relationship with it. The film takes stock of contemporary social approaches, historical contexts and scientific research. We are currently editing. Completion is planned for the end of 2027.
