A music video for the Karlsruhe band Kammerflimmer Kollektief: a nocturnal ramble through the city and a look into the windows of others. It's no secret that Kammerflimmer Kollektief and Bernd Schoch are close: they contributed the music to some of his films, most recently to Olanda, which won the dokKa Prize of the City of Karlsruhe in 2019. In return, Bernd Schoch gave them this music video, which, after a long drive through the dark night, finally discovers the band in one of the many windows and sits down in front of it.

In 2008 - at the height of the financial crisis - the then Federal President Horst Köhler visits the HfG. There he was given an exclusive guided tour by Peter Weibel and Peter Sloterdijk...
A guided tour could hardly be more educational, as you have the opportunity to look over the shoulders of intellectual greats such as Peter Sloterdijk and Peter Weibel. The then Federal President visits the HfG; its student René Frölke captured in concentrated black and white how the improvised media art discourse of the aforementioned gentlemen is colored by the longing for reflection on the real economy.

What can I say… It’s the Techno Viking! But what does he have to do with the HfG, some of you are probably wondering. Come on by and find out.

The two-dimensional ball from Pong - the mother of all video games - steals into the three-dimensional space of the HfG and wreaks all kinds of havoc there - an animated snapshot of the HfG from 2005.

In their stop-motion film, Annabel Angus, Jens Gerstenecker, Patrick Hilss and Katrin Uecker capture a piece of the HfG, probably without knowing it. The white ball leads us through the HfG, we see people that most people will no longer know. Some of them are probably already dead, but on this beautiful summer's day in 2005 they were probably glad that the dull university job was once again being disturbed by the cheeky jokes of the students!

This movie is highly recommended for all those who like to eat cat food, love mopeds and drink washing-up liquid.

The Karlsruhe University of Arts opened in Grünwinkel in 1992. The later HfG professor Stephan Krass was there for SWR.
When Krass filmed a short report on the opening of the HfG for the culture magazine Bizz in 1992, he probably had no idea that a few years later he would be teaching at the same university himself - which had since moved to the former IWKA factory building.

The old world is gone. Our landscape bears scars. Entire cities have been levelled. Is it possible to regenerate the city without covering over the warnings of war’s aggressions? Or can these ruins provide a unique chance to reinvent the city thoroughly? The art historian Heinrich Klotz took precisely these questions, concerning the reconstruction of Germany’s historical districts after World War II, as the departure point of his practice.

Three young cinema enthusiasts go on a road trip and visit different cinemas to save old, analog technology. In the process, the very own and soon forgotten stories of the cinema operators from that time come to light again. The result is a special snapshot of cinema, ten years after digitalization, in the middle of a pandemic, with many stories from the "good old days" and yet not just nostalgia. With the worries about the uncertain future of cinema, but also the confidence of many passionately active cinema people. And also a portrait of three anachronistic young people who, in the year 2020, are still completely burning for the long-dead analog cinema and therefore, against all the spirit of the times, are bringing the old back to life. The title "This is not the End" alludes to the core idea: Analog cinema will not completely end as long as there are still people who continue to deal with it, not only conserve it but continue to use it.
