Umbra

Umbra

by Florian Fischer and Johannes Krell (20 min) 20 min | 2019

A shimmering light, the rustle of the leaves, round spots of light in the shade of a tree. The sun reflects on the water. It is an element and counterpart. Can nature observe itself? A cinematic reflection on the presence and absence of things.

Press Umbra

Umbra erinnert mich an Brian Enos Ambientmusik, an Caspar David Friedrich, an Peter Zumthors Bruder-Klaus-Kapelle. Sehr schön.

Synopsis

The film UMBRA deals with rare and common optical phenomena that occur in nature. These phenomena evoke familiar images such as shadows or reflections on a water surface; but also unusual ones like the “Brocken spectre” or the pinhole effect during a solar eclipse. These ancient and natural projections can be considered as pre-cultural and independent of any apparatus. They occured even before mankind and are united by their intangible, ephemeral presence. In their immateriality and fragility, they are precursors of the cinematic image. The film UMBRA develops a visual dialogue between phenomenon and apparatus, archetype and image, self and self-perception.

Les Rites de Passage

14 Min., Experimentalfilm , Kurzfilm

A cloud of ash settles softly upon the currents of a river. Light enters the heart of a tree through a myriad of tiny holes. Monoculture forests succumb to parasites and become fertile ground for forms of life still to come. A film about earthly and mythological passages through becoming and decay.
