The Boat God of the Lakeside Sports Club (2006)

Harold Enkert, a participant of Germany’s job creation measures and the reincarnation of the Sumerian Boat God Enki, goes through the myth anew with improvement in mind. Within a cinematic microcosm in which Lake Scharmützel (Berlin) geographically merges with the Mesopotamia of antiquity, Enki, as a divinity, presides over and expands the work forms by promising humanity 100 new ME – one hundred new abilities to do, recognize or be something.

He co-operates with local partners who, when testing of their abilities, are advised and assisted by an international, ever-expanding expanding network. Parallel to this, 100 individuals are giving the chance to participate in www.enki100.net, an Internet story telling project by Robert Bramkamp and Susanne Weirich.
