This is the Kärma Burg film "Die Versuche des Naum Kotik" (The Experiments of Naum Kotik), released as a set, with the film on Blu-Ray Disc and its soundtrack "Mädchen In Schmutzigen Schürzen" by Column One on CD.

The 'slash documentary' (a lot of which is stop motion), is focused on the life of Naum Kotik (1876-1920) - a Russian neurologist who was interested in transference, telepathy and psycho-physical energy. His grandson explored this further and made a script, "Mädchen In Schmutzigen Schürzen" (girls in dirty aprons).

"It is all a strange surrealist affair. The CD is more like a radio play, which stands alone very well by itself, but it is also a vital feature in the movie. The sound is as important as what you see and makes quite the hallucinating experience... Lots of scratching and scraping of objects, which further elaborated the radio play drama, but then made visual. Strange or weird doesn’t even capture what I saw and heard... I very much enjoyed this for its aesthetic qualities" (Vital Weekly).

The film and soundtrack are only released together in this set, not available separately. Ltd x 300 copies in a really beautiful 8-panel DVD-sized matt-laminate digisleeve, including 4 postcards.
