Jedes Jahr zum Rundgang der HBK präsentieren die Studierenden der Filmklasse ihre neuen Arbeiten. Neben einem zweistündigen Filmprogramm werden auch noch Fotoarbeiten, Klang- und Video-Installationen gezeigt. Das hier vorgestellte Programm umfasst einen Teil der Single-screen-Arbeiten aus den Studienjahren 2011-2015. In den FilmVideos kommen alle Techniken zum Einsatz, die die Filmklasse zu bieten hat: von handentwickeltem 16mm-Film bis hin zu computergenerierten 'Signalen'. Die Studierenden entscheiden frei über die Wahl ihrer künstlerischen Mittel. Ausschlaggebend ist immer die persönliche Weltsicht, die subjektive Vorstellungskraft und Kreativität. So entstehen höchst unterschiedliche Bildwelten: neben formal-abstrakten auch dokumentarisch-fokussierte oder poetisch-intime Arbeiten. Immer aber liegt das Augenmerk und Interesse der Autoren darin, von sich selbst als Individuum und ihrem persönlichen Blick auf die Welt zu berichten. (MB)
Every year at the HBK Open House, the students of the Film Class present their new works. In addition to a two-hour film program, they also exhibit photo works, sound installations and video installations. The program presented here includes some of the single-channel works from the academic years 2011-2015. These film/videos feature all the technical possibilities that are available to the Film Class: from hand-developed 16mm film to computer-generated “signals”. The students are free to choose their own artistic tools. The crucial factor is always the student’s personal worldview, creativity and power of imagination. This has resulted in very diverse visual worlds: besides formal/abstract works, there are also documentary ones and poetic/intimate ones. However, the focus and interest of each auteur is to report on the self as an individual, and on one’s personal view of the world. (MB)

Details of Time
6:20 min | 2014 | HD (16:9) | col | sound (no dialog)

Moments are fleeting and temporal. Before long, they seem to escape us. In the home of my parents, I found among the objects in drawers, an emotional connection to the past. By going through them attentively and systematically, I find a way not only to categorize and organize these moments, but also to freeze them. In this way, they stay.

A surreal atmosphere. An intimate ambience. Intense. Deep. - Maybe a secret force , maybe the soul , maybe the unconsciousness. Standstill ! Tea or Coffee? Cash or card ? Black or white? Difficult questions. Two colors. - Dream? Reality ? The depth of the world of ideas? The real external world ? Silence ! - No laughter, no tears ! Fatigue?Depression? Restlessness? Despair? Nothing ! - Where? Not here, not there ! How ? When ? What ? Why ? How long ? Eternity. 8 minutes. - Logical thoughts are beyond my limits.

Mekong
8:43 min | 2015 | HDV | col | stereo | OVen (UTdt) (no dialog)

We live in a world full of gadgets and screens that are supposed to help us for a better life. As a result it leads towards an acceleration of every aspect of life. Our social, psychological and cultural behavior in the virtual world, as a part of the real world, gives an insight to our economic (in-)doctrine(-nation). The pictures point to different metaphors of acting in virtual life. The filmic abstraction discusses the circumstances and consequences without a moral intent and uses a humorous point of view to transform this behavior into a staged reality.
Ori Jauch, *1988, student in the filmclass since 2015.

Acid
6:02 min | 2015 | SD (4:3) | col | stereo | OV (no dialog)

Considered as a portrait of the harbour of Brunswick (Germany), the video project seems to take another direction, featuring an overall look on the strenuous times connected with this artificial harbour to look on. The continuously changing point of views are accompanied by non-verbal encounters of the different aspects the self-filmmaker has had with this place. A collage out of pictures, animations and video sequences is ornamentally put together, not only documenting it but also in creative encounters. The filmmaker has abandoned the aesthetic of the 16:9 plus the high-definition format as in his foregoing films, he did this in the consciousness to have a more photo-like sensation because of its format, a format that may draw nearer to older film formats of experimental film without mocking the viewer.
Enrico Viets, *1984, student in the filmclass since 2008.
