Romanticizing visualization of a future no longer being.
Documentary music short film by Oliver Eckert.
The area around the Diebsteich S-Bahn station in Hamburg Altona is undergoing radical urban renewal in the course of the construction of the new Altona long-distance train station. Only two years after the production of the short film, many of the motifs shown are no longer accessible or have completely disappeared, such as the legendary sinister Diebsteichtunnel - motif for numerous film productions, or the drained old mail track, which had developed into a biotope for numerous animal and plant species in the years following German reunification.

University of Applied Sciences Europe - Hamburg asked us to do a 4 day workshop as part of their annual Project Week. 15 students participated in a crash course on several experimental fimmaking techniques; direct animation on 16mm motion picture and 35mm slide film, shooting and processing super 8 film, as well as shooting and processing 16mm film. Their results were performed as a collaborative expanded cinema piece on the 5th day of the project week. The soundtrack was produced with a Google Doodle Celebrating the abstract filmmaker and artist Oskar Fischinger and manipulated live.
Scenes from our Super 8 workshop sponsored by Kodak and Tetenal at the 35th Kurzfilm Festival Hamburg. Shot on Kodak Vision 3 250D donated by Kodak with our Éclair ACL.
