us through more than fifty locations.

Umbra / Florian Fischer, Johannes Krell / 20:17 | Germany / 2019 / 0:20:17
The film deals with rare and common optical phenomena that occur in
nature. These phenomena evoke familiar images such as shadows or
reflections on a water surface; but also unusual ones like the
“Brocken spectre” or the pinhole effect during a solar eclipse. These
ancient and natural projections can be considered as pre-cultural and
independent of any apparatus. They occurred even before mankind and
are united by their intangible, ephemeral presence. In their
immateriality and fragility, they are precursors of the cinema image.
UMBRA develops a visual dialogue between phenomenon and apparatus,
archetype and image, self and self-perception.

death on screen while simultaneously watching a fictional one.

In 1967 the anthropologist G. Reichel-Dolmatoff published a study
about an aboriginal culture, although the tribe in question was not
visited and the only interviewed informant was far away from his
cultural ambient and tribal territory. Through it he discovered a
relation between hallucinations and the phosphene form.
