From 1960 to the present, Peter Nestler (Freiburg, Germany, 1937) has directed over sixty documentary films—many of them alongside his wife, Zsóka—in which calls for political struggle and resistance, as well as the denunciation of injustice, have been constant themes. From his early portraits of rural and industrial communities in Germany excluded from the economic miracle, to his "biographies of objects," where he documents the life of materials and their production processes, and his exploration of situations of oppression, persecution, and resistance to fascism, Nestler’s cinema stands in clear opposition to historical amnesia and political inertia. His films probe into subjects that society prefers to ignore and forget: the history of the working class, migration, historical memory, and the exploitation of natural heritage.

Se acercan otros tiempos is a double invitation to explore the context surrounding Nestler’s work, guided by the filmmaker himself and some of his closest collaborators. The set includes texts, images, and conversations, along with a facsimile edition of Campesinos que pintan cuadros (Farmers Who Paint Pictures), a book originally published by Peter Nestler and Reinald Schnell in 1973, now reissued in Spanish with new materials preserved by the director in Sweden, where he resides.

Featuring texts by Peter Nestler, Zsóka Nestler, Robert Wolfgang Schnell, Reinald Schnell, Hans Sachs, Romani Rose, Harun Farocki, Rainer Kommerz, and Basem Pablo.

This co-edition was produced in collaboration with the PUNTO DE VISTA festival.
