Human Condition
Combined programme
|
IFFR 2011
The world is no longer the same, but Weltschmerz has changed accordingly. Stop-motion, vintage computer animation, where YouTube and Second Life are used to address existential problems.
In this combined programme
-
Remisequenz
Brief, associative animation conjures up a colourful world of reality and fiction, recognisability and abstraction. -
Prim Limit
An alarming message. Existentialist problems have entered Second Life and waste disposal has to be tackled too. -
Thalé
The future is not what it used to be. A catalogue of botanical fantasies like a space-age herbarium. -
The Ascent of Man
Artist Tommy Hartung uses Darwin’s theory of evolution as a framework for a stimulating, non-linear, stop-motion animation. -
Insideout
You’re never alone with a camera. Insideout is a poetic mash-up of existential confessions from the depths of the YouTube jungle. -
Cities of Gold and Mirrors
The temporary and the eternal are unified in this epic five-part film by one of the world’s hippest artists. A culture in decline.
