VERTAGT – VFX for a dystopian satire
What does the cultural programme actually look like in a dystopia? The short film Vertagt depicts the end-time scenario of a humanity that has not achieved its climate goals. What could our future look like - if human life still exists? And above all: how will we look back on our mistakes today? In Adjourned, our contemporary climate summits are already a historical relic, a classic theatre play from the past. Having failed to fulfil their actual task, their former existence now serves
only serves to amuse a few survivors. In the dystopia, our present-day climate theatre becomes a perfect source of satire. We realised this in our second film at the HFF Munich under the direction of Prof. Jürgen Schopper as follows.
Sleep Tight – A modern horror tale
"From the edge of a forest, the werewolf steps into the moonlight;
in front of him lies a small settlement by a forest lake."
This sentence comes from an early version of our script. A lot happened from there to the final film. The old-fashioned settlement became a big city, the forest lake became a hill with modern flats and the werewolf became a werewolf. "Sleep Tight" is a homage to the horror films of days gone by, but at the same time it also breaks with convention. Our aim was to capture this dichotomy visually.
