Dokumentarfilm

Macht Natur

5x - 15min | short documentary | 2020

Story

What kind of nature do we want to create? What are we into when there is no soil? Are insects the new laying hens or plants things?

The exhibition MACHT NATUR invites you on a journey through familiar and unfamiliar territory. It presents innovations, potentials and risks of the bioeconomy around the topics of insects, plants, soil and air.

Our five accompanying short documentary films can be seen as a permanent part of the exhibition, but can also be viewed directly online on the project website.

Director, cinematography & editing: Chris Miera
Original sound, sound design & mixing: Philipp Schwabe

The exhibition MACHT NATUR is a result of the three-year research project Farming the Uncanny Valley by the project partners Berlin University of the Arts and Fraunhofer UMSICHT in collaboration with YOUSE and STATE with funding from the Federal Ministry of Education and Research. _

Story

In the third season, everything will be different, because now it's about the feelings of the boys. The clique around Jonas, Matteo, Carlos and Abdi has to prepare for the Abitur, but friendships, sex and the first great love keeps them from focussing. But do you prefer to keep cool and keep your feelings to yourself, or is it worth risking everything and getting hurt so badly?

Paths

Story

A small quiet place in Thuringia. Andreas' (42) workshop is running well again and Martin (43) is not as much on the road as before. Son Max (19) is out of the house. Finally, the two have more time for themselves and travel in November to the Baltic Sea - as they have always done it before. But Martin is dissatisfied: the weather is bad and he would have preferred to stay at home. Andreas tears off his clothes and throws himself into the cold sea. Full of care, Martin tries to pull him back and swallows the salty water as he stumbles. Back in their holiday home the mood is disturbed by the different expectations. A cautious approach to the traces of a long relationship.

Paths tells the love of two people. Not how they got together, not a period that they live through, but their common time: all the years between the first kiss and now.
