In Die Fahnen Hoch? (Fly the Flags High?), I’ve endeavored to deal critically with the mass gatherings staged by the Nazis. I oriented my approach on Leni Riefenstahl’s 1934 propaganda film Triumph of the Will. I preselected individual scenes; then, with the help of sound that I use as a design element, I produced new visual material.

The film Die Fahnen hoch? is an allusion to the original material of Leni Riefenstahl’s 1934 propaganda film Triumph of the Will.

For the final project of the fifth term at the High School for Artistic Design in Linz, Viktoria Furian created a stop-motion video on the subject of “Factors that Influence the Individual: Propaganda.”

She projected series of images at a rate of 15/second to achieve movements that are as fluid as possible. This called for approximately 2,000 photos. The audio track was used from the original scenes in order to retain the feel of Riefenstahl’s work.

Jonathan Wimmer (AT)

As a big Lego fan, Jonathan made it possible to bring his miniature Lego figures to life. At this point, he already shot more than 70 films. Making animated films has become his hobby.

In the film Ninja Training, a boy who wants to become a ninja has to learn various fighting techniques.

When the film was finished, still a soundtrack was needed: Jonathan wanted to give the figures voices and then add noises. In doing this, he made sure to synchronize the sounds and the images.

This film consists of approximately 700 individual images, all sounds and noises were recorded by Jonathan himself.
