Hoffmann (Scheicher) is an ambitious ethnology student in Berlin. When he meets the interpreter (Jazama) of the Herero and Nama delegation from German South West Africa on their visit to Germany, he develops an intense interest in the population. His experiences come to contradict the common evolutionist, racially based theories he has been confronted with up until that point. When it comes to the civil war, he is on the ground, travelling around and collecting artefacts that will form part of the collection of the modern-day Berlin Ethnological Museum. Hoffmann witnesses the cruelties of war, but he himself crosses moral boundaries when he agrees to collect Herero and Nama skeletons for research purposes.

Measuring Sadness is an essay film. Memories, archive footage, dreams and painful reality collide and touch each other in their own visual language. It measures a state, a process, in which sadness and beauty, vastness and closeness, warmth and coldness are combined in opposing ways.

德国导演Detlev Buck也在本土筹备一部新片，把德语作家Daniel Kehlmann连续37周占据《明镜周刊》畅销书榜首的《测量世界》搬上银幕，并且使用3D技术拍摄。这两部作品论起共同点的话除了畅销之外都有着交叉的人生和激动人心的探险故事。《测量世界》主人公是18世纪末德国的两位古怪天才，分别是博物学家洪堡与数学家高斯，用着各自的方式在进行着“测量世界”，直到最后两人的生活才有了交集。写该书时的Daniel Kehlmann只有30岁。《测量世界》与迈克尔·哈内克的新作《爱》（伊莎贝尔·于佩尔出演）等片一起获得了今年Berlin Film Board的资助，目前由Detlev Buck在打磨剧本，具体开机时间未定，但毫无疑问，它将成为德国迄今制作规模最大的3D影片。

The Story of Looking sees Mark Cousins prepare for surgery to restore his vision. Cousins explores the role that visual experience plays in our individual and collective lives. In a deeply personal meditation on the power of looking in his own life, he guides us through the riches of the visible world, a kaleidoscope of extraordinary imagery across cultures and eras. At a time when we are more assailed by images than ever, he reveals how looking makes us who we are, lying at the heart of human experience, empathy, discovery and thought. He shares the pleasure and pain of seeing the world, in all its complexity and contradiction, with eyes wide open. As the COVID-19 pandemic brings another dramatic shift of perspective, he reaches out to other lookers for their vision from lockdown, and travels to the future to consider how his looking life will continue to develop until the very end.
