Recent Works from Students of the HBK Film Class (Germany)

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 year 2010/11. 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.
