Inside Prora

On the island of Rügen in the Baltic Sea lies one of the most megalomaniac projects built by the Nazis. The ‘Monster by the Sea’, a colossus of brickwork that stretches for kilometres, intended as a futurist holiday resort for the inhabitants of the Third Reich. A paragon of ‘guilty architecture’. Later occupied by the communist regime, it has since the fall of the Wall fallen victim to property developers who have found it a tough nut to crack. Nico Weber’s Inside Prora uncovers the storied history of a project that symbolises the utopian intentions of modernism and the emergence of mass tourism.

Hôtel Régina

The Hotel Regina used to be an emblematic place in Touluose, with lavish settings and staircases that retain all the splendor of the 1950s in their architecture. For more than four decades, its owner, Madame Sicre -an old woman from a bourgeois family- began to rent his forty rooms to those who were looking for fast and cheap accommodation. Today, after several years in command of the building and completely exhausted, she is forced to give up the property. A young real estate agent is moved and accompanies her. However, a possible remodeling of the neighborhood threatens to turn the stories that keep the walls in ruin.

Un baile con Fred Abstrait

Prologue of the previous work Una película en color, dealing with similar matters and device, expanding the scope of procedures. Seeking to explore the relationship between camera and room, between frame and window, the footag isin-camera, in-room edited, thus, the order and length of the shots contained in each 50 feet film cartridge are preserved. Both the room and the window embody the isolation of light. Among other possibilities, Un baile con Fred Abstrait could be watched as an abstract room parody of a Fred Astaire’s musical comedy and Una película en color as a colour palette taken as a method.

La guerre commerciale des superpuissances

Is it the new Cold War, this time fought with the weapons of tariffs and counter-tariffs? The trade conflict between America and China is an unprecedented economic clash between two superpowers. It goes back to the trade policy credo of US President Donald Trump: "America first!" As a result, the USA imposed numerous tariffs of 25% on Chinese imported products in 2018. China responds with counter-tariffs. The trade dispute between the two largest economies escalated in 2020, causing a tremor that shook Europe and the entire world.

We Wanted to Kill All Nasty Ones

A jumble of emerging history is contrasted with the present efforts to optimise profit through ventures and ominous business ideas. In the midst of this labyrinth is a duo of artists who only want to make films. Their misfortune: the German film funding system allows only those who work in an artistic-documentary style to realise science fiction films. Cause enough to find true science fiction material on real German soil instead of looking for a fiction.
