Hartmut Bitomsky's Barrage and Bunker features insights from researchers Harun Farocki, Christian Petzold, and Michael Tanner. They analyze sequences from over 20 fiction films, focusing on how movement in space contributes to storytelling. The film, part of Bitomsky's Cinema Trilogy, uses TV monitors, production stills, and screenshots to create a laboratory-like setting. Quotations from various books add depth to the discussion about narrative space and its role in cinema. Released in 1991, it runs for 52 minutes.
