CYBER MELANCHOLIA
Proof-Of-Concept Vernissage - December 17th 2022 at FUNKHAUS Berlin
THANK YOU FOR YOUR VISIT.
The CYBER MELANCHOLIA Project is aiming to create a film through the progressive collaboration of artists from different fields, who meet while facing the same condition: a collective sense of melancholy, triggered by a planet on the verge of destruction. Filmmakers, musicians, scientists, painters, digital illustrators and generative artists join forces to translate the idea of Cyber Melancholia. Our vision is to overcome classical genre boundaries by exploring sci-fi through a playful lens. Music, fine arts, code based art and film meet to form an otherworldly symbiosis.
We shot a Cyber Melancholia teaser in November 2021 that functions as a proof-of-concept. The teaser sets the mood of the film. It presents a first impression of the story idea (created by director-dp duo Andjani Autumn and Ivarr Jacobsen) and the original film score (composed by Lukas Brehm). With this proof-of-concept, we want to gain funds for the film production. We would like to achieve this by showcasing the project at a vernissage, where we will screen the teaser, have a live concert by music score composer Lukas Brehm and exhibit the work of all art collaborators.
The vernissage will take place December 17th 2022 in the spaces of Drink&Draw, at Funkhaus Berlin.
The Team
Andjani Autumn Gatzweiler
Directress, Visual Artist, graduate Universität der Künste Berlin
With a background in science communication, Andjani Autumn pursued a second path during her studies in directing and the visual arts (traditional and digital). The marriage of both paths, science and art, allowed her to create the framework of the filmproject "Cyber Melancholia", a term that was born throughout her collaborational work with Ivarr Jacobsen. Her mission is to create an ongoing project with artists of all fields to visually translate the concept of Cyber Melancholia.
Ivarr Jacobsen
Director of Photography, graduate Universität der Künste Berlin
The beauty in melancholy lies in its ability to show us how precious life is. Ivarr Jacobsen has indulged in the topic of melancholy ever since studying at the University of the Arts. In his final thesis, he explored the visual and narrative use of melancholy in film and constantly evolves a visual language that creates a sense of sweet melancholy ever since.
Lukas Brehm
Music Producer, Film- and Theatre Music Composer, graduate Design Pop Music Popakademie Baden-Württemberg
The sound of a collective melancholy hovering above us. This is the music score by Lukas Brehm. Through the unique use of his own voice, he creates orchestral sounds that feel otherwordly and which translate the concept of Cyber Melancholia in its core. His recent works include the music direction and composition in cooperation with director Yvonne Kespohl at Staatstheater Augsburg (Alice in Wonderland). He is the former bassist and vocalist of FIBEL and current bassist and vocalist of PANO and BETTEROV.
Justus Hunfeld
Artist Manager, Drummer, Model, graduate Music Business Popakademie Baden-Württemberg
Alongside his former work as an A&R at BMG The New Music Company GSA, Justus Hunfeld toured as the live drummer for German producer and artist „BLVTH“. Through Justus Hunfeld's experiences in music business, his current work as the manager of music composer Lukas Brehm and as an artist himself, he stands at the intersection of industry and craft, enabling the project to meet state of the art standards in music.
