Acclaimed filmmaker Grant Gee's documentary about German writer WG Sebald. 'Patience (After Sebald)' is a multi-layered film essay on landscape, art, history, life and loss - an exploration of the work and influence of German writer WG Sebald (1944-2001), told via a long walk through coastal East Anglia tracking his most famous book 'The Rings Of Saturn' and like the novel itself, this film cannot be pigeonholed into any specific genre. It's all at once a travelogue, a history lesson, a biography, a critical analysis, a psychological study, and to a very small degree, a fan testimonial, with artists, scholars, publishers, and writers exploring what Sebald and "The Rings of Saturn" personally mean to them.
