reunion shows. At the same time »Chi l'ha visto« shows how lost family members influence the life of those left behind and even control it. The more improbable the findability of the missing person, the stronger do they determine the >mental maps< of those left behind.

»Chi l'ha visto« is not a documentary but rather a feature film which consciously works with the aesthetic elements of the documentary film. The dialogues are mainly improvised. The film does show great performances by Gianni Meurer and Paul Kominek and an impressive achievement of the director Claudia Rorarius who besides her job as a photographer (Süddeutsche Zeitung, WIRE, Spex) so far attracted attention as an author and director of various international award-winning short-and documentary films, like »Cable Car« and »Twin«. For »Chi l'ha visto« she has co-operated with the famous German editor Bettina Böhler as an editor consultant. Böhler most recently edited Christian Petzold's »Jerichow« and Angela Schanelec's »Nachmittag«. Lead Gianni Meurer is considered a great German acting-discovery and in the near future will be co-starring with Moritz Bleibtreu for the new film project by Oliver Hirschbiegel.
