UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL: MICHAEL BRYNNTRUP
Being used to a certain aesthetic presented in mainstream TV and cinema, people often find experimental short films strange and hard to digest. However the personal works of Michael Brynntrup, one of the most profilic German filmmakers working mainly on the underground circuit, are regarded as small jewels of cinematic culture that are very appealing and attract enthusiastic audiences.
Michael Brynntrup often performs the leading role in his movies. Yet his films are different than the films originating from an autobiographical filmmaking tradition in North America who use private lives as a form of artistic expression. When Michael Brynntrup exposes his subjectivity, it's not a one-to-one representation and he addreses always the human being in general. His films can be seen as experimental reflections of a narcissistic artist who presents himself as a man portraying himself to others who are supposed to recognise themselves in him.
"I see cinema, in essence, not as mass media, but as an individual experience that takes place in the mind of each viewer." (Michael Brynntrup) He leaves the audience to decide on the ambivalence of his work and to reflect on themselves while identifying with the exposed character in the film. As an experimental and independent filmmaker who sees his work as a medial self-reflection (film as metafilm) and working from a gay male perspective, he tries to direct his films to different contextual and technical limits. How well can reality be presented? What limits do morals and the media set? Despite his preoccupation with heavy existential themes of death and personal identity in his work, his vision is often ironic. He is able to integrate a personal diaristic strategy using humour and pathos to subvert, to create films which are both intimate and visually stunning.

Rests and tests from the inquiry into prototypes.
Formal proofs through pregnant experiments on one's own body.
{Information sheet of the film, 1990}
Test cards, doodlings, film techniques and visual experiments - the mechanics of film itself form the narrative of »Die Statik der Eselsbrücken«. And again, the result is hypnotic.

A medium is not an abbreviation that brings one thing to another, but rather a third added to two. A medium is not static, not a bridge, but develops a life of its own whenever activated.
The ECG of metempsychosis (from the genes to the zodiac).
Electrographics of the 4th Dimension.
{Information sheet of the film, 1996}
»Herzsofort.Setzung« is under no cirumstances a mindless rehearsal of various mediaforms. In spite of different forms like Super8, CD-Rom, VHS-Video, colour copy or computer print, that are presented sometimes in an absurd manner, the single generation of the pictures are linked by the pleasure lying in - the uncertainty of the process, also in the formulation of the question. What remains from the transformed man after his bath in the media?

Teil 2: Aktuelle Arbeiten von Studierenden der HBK-Filmklasse | Recent works by the Film Class Braunschweig | FILMKLASSE BRAUNSCHWEIG
[ 33 min | 2011-2015 | 6 FilmVideo ]

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)

This short film was shooting in Super8 and describe my feelings in November at the coast of Tallinn, Estonia. Like the title said is this film dealing with the topic loneliness witch you can understand by visiting the scandinavian countries in the late autumn. By using toys on the beach I tried to catch the monotony and the fight again this feeling of not be alone. The black & white quality also accompany the authentic of the film.
