We are pleased to have worked on the trailer of the 30th edition of Athens International Film Festival directed by the legendary Uli M Schueppel, named the F.W. Murnau of the underground. After reading the script by Schueppel we made a pure graphic animation that we then filmed again projected on all kind of material and spacial situations. A process that symbolized and realized the confrontation of idea and matter and the endless unimaginable ‘accidents’ it produces. After reading the script we instantly thought of a typical film by László Moholy-Nagy “Lichtspiel: schwarz, weiss, grau (Lightplay: black, white, gray) 1930”, that demonstrated so well the endless unimaginable games one could play between light and darkness that is at the basis of any cinematic experience.
Directed by Uli M Schueppel in close collaboration with Typical Organization (Joshua Olsthoorn & Kostas Vlachakis) & Lamda (Music/Pantelis Nikiforos), with support from Dolce films (Theofanis Dalezios), Cosmo Schueppel & Yanis Zagorianakos – as well as the help and inspiration of many others.
