Episode 1: "Die Befreiten"
A Berlin film-artist clique imagines that Oberhausen is the new Kreuzberg. The municipal administration is thrilled: finally, a creative industry has gained a foothold in the city. Ever since Richard Florida, they’ve been convinced that art is the new coal.
In ten episodes, the series "That Oberhausen Feeling" sketches a picture of artistic endeavour under contemporary conditions. In the specific Oberhausen cityscape in autumn 2011 – shortly before the 50th anniversary year of the Oberhausen Manifesto, the "founding act of New German Film" – the series peered into the mirrored sunglasses of the bedazzling German film promotion scene and filmed the stories that the artists and those who support or hinder them are going to tell themselves anyway in order to be able to bear to do their work, while they are allegedly acting up, shooting, economizing or reigning supreme, which increasingly amounts to the same thing – at least almost. And: discussions are finally launched again!
The first two episodes are online now here and at Arte Creative.
