Fractal Cycles
Bärbel Neubauer
Fractal Cycles is an animation film that
morphs and metamorphoses abstract,
micro- and macroscopic elements. It is a
journey through particles, fractal objects,
and systems that generate metamorphoses.
Tiny objects morph into big organisms and
worlds, and vice-versa. Elements transform
as to their shape, material and movement.
There are no edits: The camera/spectator
passes through particular forms (i.e. spirals)
and moves from one state to the next
through transformation.

The Future will not be
Capitalist Sasha Pirker
The setting is Paris, seat of Communist
party headquarters in France. The building
designed by Oscar Niemeyer in the 1980’s
has long since been recognized as an architectural
icon and symbol of what was at
one time among the most powerful political
movements in France. The individuals who
work in this building are the protagonists of
the film. Their tempo determines its speed.
Their paths delineate the building.
