Thorsten Fleisch, artist and filmmaker who lives
in Berlin, combines many of his interests and
talents in his new film Hex Suffice Cache Ten. It
might be astonishing to see the experimental
filmmaker and alumni of Frankfurter Städel School
making a science fiction film that combines
narrative B-movie aesthetics with experimental
film techniques and adaptations of Manga,
Cronenberg, Splatter Movie and Cyberpunk. On the
other hand, the openness of the film's narrative
may be read in many ways, and is possibly not
only accessible but totally enjoyable for both
lovers of the experimental genre and trash film
addicts. In certain ways, Fleisch uses old
technological artifacts in order to create
science fiction, the lately popular steam punk is
similar to the artist's esthetic strategies.
However, over the course of the film, the
dramatic interactions between the characters of
the film are almost entirely resolved by some
kind of screen, some intermediate interface.
Furthermore, those interactions both stay
ambiguous and could be characterized as being
driven by irrational forces.
At the beginning of the evening, Thorsten Fleisch
will show a selection from his archive of
educational films. He is collecting all kinds of
original silent 16mm films from science, often
medical movies and educational films meant to be
shown in school. These films, from 30's to 50's
in esthetic ways to us often seem to be strange.
They receive their new meaning by
decontextualization and the alienation of time
distance. They may appear funny, but the rigor of
their esthetic quality may also be disclosed as
having psychotic qualities. Thus, apart from
being curiosities, these collected films by
Thorsten Fleisch - together with his new film
"Hex Suffice Cache Ten"- may remind us of the
influences contemporary media has on our
subconsciousness by their mere media qualities.
Something that might be harder to perceive if
looking with naked eye at most recent renderings
of "media normality".
Hex Suffice Cache Ten
Produced by Thorsten Fleischcinematography, Script & Music by Thorsten Fleisch?
Starring Lise Ivanouw, Daniel Scheimberg, Timo Fleisch and Thorsten Fleisch
Length: 12:42 minutes / Format: HD / Year: 2012
Synopsis:
A surreal escape of a disintegrating mind into
neon-lit nightmares from a discarded future.
Suddenly interferences from sub-particle
proliferation occur within the protagonist's
body, a transformation can't be avoided.
This exploration of cinematic space within an
implosion of cerebral space is a daring tale of
aliens, experiments on humans, video games and
mutation. It is showering the unsuspecting viewer
in handmade visual and aural stimuli from planet
Fleisch.
