LIP SYNC 2015

Director: Julia Scher
Country: Germany
Duration: 4

The spirits that I called… In her video work Lip Sync 2015, Julia Scher shines a light on the contradictory feelings that arise in the face of 21st century surveillance – from voluntary posing in front of the camera to the desperate and hopeless attempt to flee back into the private sphere.

INK IN MILK

Director: Gernot Wieland
Country: Australia
Duration: 12

Twelve minutes unfold a whole life: in sketches, metaphor-rich picture sequences, drawings and sculptures, Wieland resurrects the disturbing world of a child, tells of darkness in the light; of the illness schizophrenia. Mixing different materials is a central motif of Wieland’s painting, both as a visual artist and filmmaker.

FREEROAM À REBOURS

Director: Stefan Panhans
Country: Germany
Duration: 16

Stefan Panhans’ Freeroam À Rebours, Mod#I.1 takes as its point of departure various shortcomings in the behavior of videogame avatars controlled by human players. These 'failure scenarios' are transposed onto the bodies of real performers, and recreated in the medium of film. Such 'failed behaviors' by game avatars – including displacement activities, idling behaviors, repeated failures to perform an action, the imperfect approximations of human movements and gestures – are generally considered to be the result of inadequacies and inability, especially in a society shaped by the pressures of functionality, economic imperatives and (self-)optimization.

DEPTH OF FIELD

Directors: Mareike Bernien & Alex Gerbaulet
Country: Germany
Duration: 14

The scene of a crime is still a place. Nuremberg is still Nuremberg, even if National Socialism and the National Socialist Underground (NSU) have cast a dark shadow on the city. In their documentary approach, Bernien and Gerbaulet seek to grasp the complexity of history. They show places connected to the three murders that the NSU committed in Nuremberg between 2000 and 2005 and expand the narrative to include the dimension of the entire complex.

Walls Have Feelings

Director: Eli Cortiñas
Country: Germany
Duration: 13

Walls Have Feelings is a hypnotic montage of cinematographic, photographic and literary references wired together with excerpts from YouTube videos, TV series, advertisements, generic footage, animations, and newly-filmed material. These elements generate a complex constellation of different devices, modes of consumption, reception, and forms of power inherently linked to each other.
