DAU
„Diese titanische Kameraleistung wurde von Jürgen Jürges mit einem winzigen Team geleistet; auf analogem 35 mm Filmmaterial gedreht, meist von der Schulter oder aus der Hand. Jürges befand sich über Monate hinweg, meist rund um die Uhr, in Bereitschaft. … Als Ganzes betrachtet, gehört das DAU Projekt zum Interessantesten, was das Weltkino derzeit zu bieten hat."
