Öcher Competition 2: In Conversation

In the Aachen Competition II, we see stories in the here and now, conversations, conversations about conversations, exchange in every form. Whether in a therapy room, hungover in a bar, or at a student party - no medium captures awkward silences, love, trust - in short: the interpersonal-quite likecinema does! In doing so, the medium also discovers new forms of exchange-for example, a dance stretched across place and time can suddenly evoke intimate memories.

In Aachen Competition II, we see stories in the here and now: Conversations, conversations about conversations, exchanges in any form. Whether in a therapy room, with a hangover in a bar or at a student party - no medium depicts uncomfortable silence, love, trust - in short: the interpersonal - as impressively as cinema! The medium also finds new forms of exchange: a dance, spun across time and place, can suddenly evoke intimate memories.
