Whose Language You Don’t Understand

_Whose Language You Don’t Understand_, named after a novel by the late Austrian writer Marianne Fritz (1948-2007) is a video cycle exploring the limits of language. Fritz spent most of her life, over 30 years, working on a cycle of dense and complex novels she called _The Fortress_, consisting of over 10,000 pages and still unfinished at the time of her death. Her project is an unusual and astonishing one that challenges the conventions of writing and reading. The film is divided into twelve sections, each corresponding to a volume of Fritz's work. Narrated from the perspective of a different member of a team working on a dense, difficult, and mysterious project, each section confronts the philosophical and practical limits inherent in the act of storytelling.
