Matthias Müller was born in Bielefeld, West Germany on March 29, 1961. He first became interested in filmmaking while he was a student in Arts and German Literature at Bielefeld University in the 1980s. In 1985 Müller co-founded the Alte Kinder Film Collective with friends Christiane Heuwinkel and Maja-Lene Rettig. The members of Alte Kinder collectively produced and distributed a series of cutting edge films on Super-8, the film gauge preferred by Germany's post-punk wave of underground filmmakers. Müller first gained international attention with the release of his 1989 film, Aus Der Ferne, a meditation on loss and mourning. Müller's next film, Home Stories (1990), used a mesmerizing montage of shots from technicolor melodramas of the 1950s and 60s to comment on Hollywood conventions. The film went on to win numerous awards and to establish Müller's international reputation as an important new star of the film and art worlds. Since then, Müller has continued to create some of the most stunning works to come out of the avant garde in years. Vacancy (1999), a nostalgic glance into the past, examines the hopes and dreams of a post-World War II, pre-Kennedy assassination world. The film's flickering cuts between 1961 and the present are a heartbreaking reminder of promises left unfulfilled. In 1999, Müller and collaborator Christoph Giradet were commissioned to create a series of works based on the films of Alfred Hitchcock for the Oxford Museum of Modern Art. The result, Phoenix Tapes (2000), is an entertaining study of the themes and techniques of the master of suspense. Müller's short film, Breeze (2000), was used as an advertisement for the Vienna International Film Festival.

The Memo Book, 1989, 28min, color.
"One of the most beautiful and original of recent experimental films to treat the emotional landscape of the present plague years in which we find ourselves. Begun as a portrait of a former lover who had died of AIDS, The Memo Book is as much a self-portrait of the filmmaker, projecting into his own mortal fears, fascination with German romanticism, and his exorcising of memory. A tender, magical and melancholy love poem by an important new talent." (John Gianvito) Winner of numerous prizes, including Experimental Film Award, Oberhausen Short Film Festival, 1990."

1994, 15min. color
"The tension of restless sleep, of dreams, of longing nocturnal secrets and the pleasure of the body, is embedded in images of the ocean, harbours and ships." (Heike Klippel, Screen, Oxford, 1994). Winner of numerous prizes, including first prizes at the Stuttgart, Dresden and Münster Film Festivals."

Alpsee, 1995, 15min. color
"For a young boy, ordinary facts and things of daily life seem to have great importance."
"Alpsee retrata una infancia ambientada en los años 60. Muestra una madre y a su hijo de 10 años, en una ficción estilizada y con una estética totalmente 'clean'. Una hipérbole construída a través de secuencias fotográficas impecablemente bien compuestas e iluminadas, (...)"

Pensão Globo,1997, 15min. Color
"A man faces his approaching death. He takes a journey, his last perhaps, and ends up at the Pensão Globo in Lisbon, where he sets out on an aimless excursion through the city. The film depicts a life in a state of transition. "Sometimes it's like I'm already gone, become a ghost of myself."

Vacancy, 1999, 14min. Color


"Retrato de Brasilia, presentada aquí como una visión apocalíptica cuya arquitectura futurista se erige como íconos de una cultura perdida. La monumental soledad de las imágenes y la banda sonora hecha de fragmentos de texto vanguardistas, recuerdan las elegías poéticas de las últimas películas de Derek Jarman."
He editado un post original en el que solo había el elink para Alpsee y creo que pasó bastante desapercibido.
De momento he visto solo dos videos de este tío, pero me han parecido espléndidos, sobretodo "Home Stories" del que no he encontrado ningún enlace. Creo que es de lo más interesante que se está haciendo en estos últimos tiempos en el campo de la videocreación.

A ver si alguien está interesado, yo al menos lo recomiendo......

Hay poquísimas fuentes aunque he visto los archivos completos, a ver si hay interés y se pueden conseguir los archivos. De momento pongo Alpsee en Lanzamiento.
Un Saludo.
