Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Ister is a 2004 film directed by David Barison and Daniel Ross. The Ister was inspired by a 1942 lecture course delivered by the German philosopher Martin Heidegger, published in 1984 as H lderlins Hymne Der Ister . Heidegger's lecture course concerns a poem by the German poet Friedrich H lderlin about the Danube River. The film The Ister travels upstream along the Danube toward its source, as several interviewees discuss Heidegger, H lderlin, and philosophy. The film is also concerned with a number of other themes, including: time, poetry, technology, home, war, politics, myth, National Socialism, the Holocaust, the ancient Greek polis, Sophocles, Antigone, Agnes Bernauer, Edmund Husserl, the 1991 battle of Vukovar, and the 1999 NATO bombing of Yugoslavia.
