With his experimental films, the Berlin based 
filmmaker Björn Speidel explores the relationship 
between image and imaging surface. For several 
years, he has investigated the image's depth by 
the use of stereo 3D.
Lately, 3D cinema has become a new hype in the 
mainstream. The new trend is related to reaching 
for a more immersive cinema, competing with 
computer games. Björn Speidel takes a different 
stance by considering stereoscopic pictures as a 
tableau with depth. This opens a different 
approach to the concept of three-dimensional 
images. Instead of just representing an image of 
the world, a single picture may unfold a whole 
world of its own. Within only few image 
"incidents" virtual sensations start to occur 
that could not exists outside the image - a 
fragile utopia.

The films of Björn Speidel often combine several 
stereo 3D technologies. The topic of woods, of 
trees reappear in his films as a metaphor as well 
as a structure of repetition and noise. The 
German saying of not seeing the woods because of 
all the trees may describe the repetitive 
background noise created by his individual works. 
These motives (re)appear as a combination of 
chance and structural montage.

Finally, (experimental) filmmaking is always 
related to the used apparatus.Thus Björn Speidel 
is exploring a diversity means of analogue film, 
analogue video and digital media. The screening 
will include the first presentation of the 
“Video-Harp" as a world premiere.
