Thomas Heise‘s final film, “Übergang,” arrives at the Locarno Film Festival as both a portrait of one of Germany’s most influential documentary filmmakers and the completion of a project left unfinished by his death.

Premiering in the festival’s out of competition section, the film traces Heise’s life through newly shot footage, archival material and photographs, sewing together a meditation on time and transition.
