Our basement cinema makes use of an in-between place. A thoroughfare is deliberately turned into an offspace and over the course of a year will show a series of short films that are all related to each other. This opens up cinematic dialogues of a special kind: a filmmaker chooses another short film in addition to their own work – the invitation is personal.

Maximilian Seegert presents his film Edge Effects (2022) and invites the artist and filmmaker Hannah Senoner and her work Als ich älter wurde (2022) as a dialogue partner.

Edge Effects, DE 2022, 13:21 min

Maximilian Seegert studies sculpture at the University of Fine Arts in Hamburg and at the École national supérieure des beaux-arts de Paris. In his most recent film, he examines how our experiences of video game environments changes our view of the landscapes around us. Above all, the spiritual, magical and also the metaphysical charge of these constructed landscapes are the focus of his observation.

Hannah Senoner
Als ich älter wurde, DE 2022, 15:33 min

Hannah Senoner (* 1996, Munich) graduated from the Hamburg University of Fine Arts in summer 2022. In her artistic practice, she deals with issues such as being alone and relating to the other in relation to specific environments and landscapes, as well as contemporary interior designs and advertising worlds, from an explicitly female perspective. On a visual level, she explores or recreates these environments using video editing and 3D programs, and links them to her personal experiences.
