The Shape of ThingsSpecial MentionThere was a notable presence of work based on appropriated or found footage and inevitably one of these became the subject of a special mention. This was the case with The Shape of Things (Oliver Pietsch) which reflects the primeval fears in us all with humour, wit, impeccable timing and the frisson of possible truth. He produced a collage entirely his own.  Oliver Pietsch: The Shape Of Things Found Footage Film about sleep and dreams.

Love Comes To Me Oliver Pietsch: Love Comes To Me Music Video about crying people in movies. Living a Beautiful LifeSpecial MentionA subtle confrontation with the unbearable lightness of perfection, leaving us in a state where one can only yearn for sin..  C. Schnitt: Living a Beautiful Life In 'Lord of the Flies', William Golding describes a group of children being washed ashore on a desert island, where they design their own social structure as if it were a natural process. It is remarkable to witness how quickly the theoretical ideal formulated by the children becomes blemished. Their society degenerates into a very cruel, unjust and violent one. As introduction to Living a beautiful life, Schnitt shows a fragment from Der Katzenprinz, a Czech-East-German film made in 1978. Here, as in a vision, we see the reverse; cheerful, naked children living in a paradise where even wild animals are free from cruelty. The fragment is rather over the top, and, due also to the imagery, recognizable as an exponent of 1970s ideas on freedom and happiness. Which in turn confronts us with the fact that, by now, these ideas have become rather tainted and have been superseded by sense of reality. Although? Has anything taken their place? Once Upon a Time C. Schnitt: Once Upon a Time In a living room, a camera is slowly turning round, just about thirty centimetres above the carpet. There is no-one to be seen. A cat suddenly appears and moments later a second one enters the room. A dog drinks water from a fish bowl, a bird joins the assembled company, a rabbit hops in, a goose waggles its way among them, somewhere a pig is grubbing about, a goat, a lama, there is no end to it. Gradually the room is filling up with more and more animals which are sniffing at each other, startling each other or munching on a house plant together. In the intro to Living a Beautiful Life (2003), an earlier work by Corinna Schnitt, we saw all kinds of very young children sitting, lying, walking and playing naked together in an idyllic landscape. The religious or romantic association with a primeval world in which living creatures would once have co-existed, also emerges from Once Upon a Time. Counter Volker Schreiner: Counter This is a work based on found footage. Schreiner extracted sequences with numbers from many movies, both classic and obscure. Using these short fragments he compiled a countdown starting from the number 266. A strong effect of suspense is created, the tight-paced montage holding the viewer's attention. Teaching The Alphabet V. Schreiner: Teaching The Alphabet 'It's not a simple ABC, this found footage alphabet by Volker Schreiner. Schreiner reveals his qualities in collecting and choreographing footage from classic (Hollywood) films. The concept of alphabetical ordering is loosely maintained so there's room for a playful contribution from the subconscious.' |
