2022 – I AM GOING – medium length 59 min
Director/Writer Christin Berg, Cinematography Jakob Stark, Sound Graciella Barrault, Music Ben Shemie
CAST Cécile Laroche, Sabine Clement, Ben Shemie
1-channel film, B/w, sound, Shot on 4K, English, in production

The idea for the film I Am Going originated on the streets of Paris and at the Cité internationale des arts. A narrative in black and white whose protagonists stand facing one another to proclaim nothing less than the end of the world. Two women gifted with political acumen and common sense, whose interpretations go unheard nevertheless. Their revelations are articulated on a sort of pilgrimage that leads each of them to find the other. The journey takes them from the country to the city, from the city back to the country and directly through the city itself. It is the pose, the gesture in public space, like a raised fist, a scarf held in a hand, or public graffiti, that weighs on the characters’ shoulders and grows heavier by going unnoticed. C.Berg

CAST Evangeline Baldwin, Ann-Ci Lifmark, Heinz Kasper, Hannah Ehrlichmann, Recardo Koppe,
Dee Keyne
3–channel – Videoinstallation, 1-channel – Projection, Colour, 4K Video and 16mm, Aspect Ratio: 2,35:1, Cinemascope

The characters in Fire Walks With Me have taken on disparate physical forms to move through a vast array of geographical spaces and times in history, and yet they are still connected to each other.
They are empathic wanderers, immersed in the nature that surrounds them. A nomad’s animal instinct to migrate also harbours a greedy urge to try living in places far from home and to remain in constant motion. Shot in Iceland, Germany, France and Portugal, the film viscerally conveys heat, cold, and storm, but also solitude and hunger. The work is presented both as a single-channel and a three-channel video. C.Berg

2022 – BEYOND THE NOW – short 18 min
Director/Writer Christin Berg, Cinematography Jakob Stark, 1. AC Nikolaus von Schlebrügge, Sound Thomas Funk, Music Matija Strniša, Color Grader Nikolai Wolf, Contemporary Sound Filip Caranica
CAST Jules Elting, Natasja Loutchko, Ida Lennartsson, Ulrike Hemberger, Cleo Zindler
1-channel film, Colour, sound, Shot on 4K anamorphic, German with English subtitles, Aspect ratio 2,35:1 Cinemascope

Beyond the Now is an expressive chamber play in which monologue or gesticulating characters evoke memories of birth, deconstruction and death. The artist’s personal exploration of the legacy of a forest, the film is her own critical interpretation of the Romantic era. The paintings of the 18th and 19th centuries are a reflection of the past, but they also reveal visions of escapism and Utopian futures.This discrepancy between the actual state of existence and the hopes of the past lies at the foundation of the work. Berg comments on an age of paradoxes by infusing everyday situations with tension and leaving them open-ended. C.Berg

2020 – FROM NOW ON SILENCE – short 11 min
Director/Writer Christin Berg, Cinematography Jakob Stark, Additional Camera Konrad Waldmann,
Editor Mirko Scheel, Contemporary Sound Filip Caranica
CAST Lucas Englander, Angela Muñoz, Viola Glock, Karl-Ernst-Ackermann, Katrin Marleen Einert
1-channel film, Colour, sound, Shot on 4K, Aspect ratio 2,35:1 Cinemascope
Premiere at Rencontres Internationales Paris/Berlin, HKW Berlin, Louvre Paris

From Now on Silence is only presented in this book as a screenplay. The film premiered at the Louvre Paris in 2020, thus the images have been projected out into orbit. The story was shot in a theatre in Berlin that was demolished soon afterwards, yet the ghosts who were summoned and continue to play their games here could appear in any place whose splendour belongs to the past but whose aura cannot be extinguished.
