Elsewhere
At a glance
Elsewhere is a 2001 Austrian documentary film directed and produced by Nikolaus Geyrhalter. It is arranged in 12 episodes, each focused on life in a different location. During 2000, Geyrhalter and his teams travelled to different places month by month, seeking locations that had not been swept up in the millennium excitement. The film brings together twelve varied settings as a portrait of everyday life across them. Its runtime is 240 minutes. The languages listed are German and English. For viewers interested in documentary filmmaking organized around place, Elsewhere offers a substantial, multi-part journey rather than a single-location account. Its twelve-episode structure and the year-long process of visiting locations give the film a clear framework: each episode contributes another setting to the broader look at life elsewhere.
