Observer on Loretta Fahrenholz' music video for Kim Gordon.

Fahrenholz tends to make work that unpacks the ubiquity of technology while illuminating its dystopian effects.

RIP Ulli Lommel.
Here a trailer from one of his last roles, dying on screen, from Loretta Fahrenholz' 2014 medium length film My Throat, My Air.
(Ulli Lommel passed December 2, 2017 at the age of 72, he was know for his roles in ten of the films by R. W. Fassbinder, most notably maybe Fassbinder's first feature length film, the 1969 Love Is Colder Than Death. The younger Lommel was recognized directing films such as his 1972 The Tenderness of Wolves, and his 1979 Andy Warhol collaboration Co***ne Cowboys. He then started producing and directing trash and horror movies mainly for the home video market, such as The Boogeyman (1980) and The Devonsville Terror (1983). His 2005 film Daniel – Der Zauberer starring the at that time known singer Daniel Küblböck, a film that has a 1,9 IMDb-score, of 10 possible.

My Throath, My Air by Loretta Fahrenholz has been acquired by the KdFS – Kulturstiftung des Freistaates Sachsen (Art Council of Saxony, Germany). The film was produced by vitakuben with kind support of KdFS, Medienboard Berlin-Brandenburg's Experimental Film funding and the Werkleitz Festival.

A quiet semi-fictional family drama shot in Munich’s petty-bourgeois Westend, starring former Fassbinder actor, Warhol collaborator, and horror movie director…

Historia del Miedo, first feature by Argentine film maker Benjamin Naishtat, with vitakuben as proud minority co-producer, can be seen on MUBI for another 11 days.

A hot summer. A private district with an enormous park. An abandoned plot of land in the suburbs and an uncontrollable wave of smoke spark uncertainty and chaos.
