Experimental Short Movie | 2007 | Length: 13 min. | Format: DVCPro HD 16:9
The storyline discloses a young man’s life which proceeds in opposition to the uniform outside world. Secluded in his room his main concern is with the neighbouring, unfulfilled love. A casual incident, effected by external circumstances, provides the opportunity to break out of society’s mechanized moulds.
A dystopy, abandoning speech and text, revealing expressive audio-visual scenes by the use of harmonic symbiosis of music, sound design and visual aesthetics.
With the aid of a small and supportive staff WEISS was shot in five days in the city centre of Köln. Taking the time needed made it possible for us to carry out the preparation and post production on our own. WEISS had it’s premiere at the KHM Showcase in Cinenova, Köln in October 2007 and was followed by it’s first official screening at the Time Warp Festival 2008 in Mannheim (Germany) where it won the Time Warp Film Award 2008 for best short movie.
