To make Der Geldkomplex (The Money Complex)\u00a0<\/em>we brought together a group<\/span>\u00a0of people related to stage work with no previous film experience, except for a photographer and a sound designer. The work consisted in looking for our own logic towards cinematographic fiction that would be capable of integrating the different experiences and sensibilities of the artists and technicians we had brought together.<\/p>\n

By following the proposal of Franziska von Reventelow (on whose namesake novel, published in 1916, we based this film<\/span>) to act \u201cas if” money were the only important thing, we ran the risk of reaching nothing more than a painful irony.\u00a0<\/span>But it also gave us the opportunity to work with masks, to perform summer theater, to distance ourselves from a situation that defines our day-to-day life.\u00a0<\/span>The idea was for the camera to keep a distance to preserve the aura of people, not to film inside the bedrooms.\u00a0<\/span>As the close-up is a basic psychological tool of film, we also shot some close-ups.\u00a0<\/span>But there is no center to the scenes, there is no center to the film, there is a flow of ideas and jumps in time that I believe cannot be reduced to a single meaning.\u00a0Making films is difficult because it is aggressive, or rather, can be aggressive with reality, but when fiction can be created, reality smiles.\u00a0<\/span>A question of distance, of “touch”, perhaps. Fortunately, the camera knows more than we do.\u00a0A meeting of friends. The enthusiasm lies in the possibility of freedom. The more freedom, the more enthusiasm, and vice versa. Excess of leisure, but beyond that, lack of experience.\u00a0<\/span>The anguish of \u201cimprovised\u201d shots. When do they start, when do they end?<\/p>\n

This film is part of the \u201cCollaborative Film\u00a0Making\u201d month. Each screening will be open for one week.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
