“… This fragile openness to the absurd beauty and the beautiful absurdities of life is what gives Dagie Brundert's films their magic. Her absolute subjectivity and naiveté offer the viewer places to hop on and enjoy the ride. The images serve not only as a vehicle for metaphorical theses, but can also be appreciated on their own merits.“ Luc-Carolin Ziemann, 2007 (www.shortfilm.de) | |||||
Home | I studied visual arts and experimental film in Berlin at art school. Fell in love with (super 8) film in the late 80s. Since then I try to be a particle-finder, a wave-catcher and a good story-teller. I try to absorb weird beautiful things from this world, chew them and spit them out again. I've presented my films at national and international film festivals and received a „Super 8 Lifetime Achievement Award“ from the IMAGES Film Festival in Toronto, Canada a couple of years ago. Since 2008 I've been teaching the “Wabi-Sabi in Super 8“ – experimental film making and processing in my workshops. I made more than 100 short films during the last 28 years, all on Super 8, all between 1 and 6 minutes of length. Some time ago I found out that a single frame (which passes by and fades away watching the film in motion) has a unique and beautiful life of its own, now that I have the technical means to scan and enlarge it to more than 1 meter of width without loss of grain. It's utterly fascinating, it's still a part of a film but also a singular and independent picture. |

Questions and Answers |
How is a film made? Another one, “Through Red Wine“ from 2006: my friend who is a curator for film programs and exhibitions in galleries and cinemas asked me if I had a film that would match into the subject of “Eat and Drink“. No, I had no film but I promised her to make one soon. |
