Dear friends the Crowdfunding Campaign of the short film “Goddess, Garbage & Gewalt” just started! Open the link, watch the pitch video, choose one of the rewards and help the team to make this film!
GG&G is a short film about plastic pollution and wasted gods! A cinematic allegory of our time. What is sacred? And can it save us? Nature and man are in a war without winners. The gods that man once created seem powerless.
Plastic is everywhere: Garbage dumps, roads, woods, it’s all around us. Microplastic can be found in rivers, oceans and even in the clouds; it’s been detected in the soil as well as in the human placenta. The anthropocene is here! Can humanity go against its own achievements without taking a step backwards in its living standards? How powerful are we really? And who will save us from ourselves? The depletion of our planet, the narcissistic short-sightedness of politics and the economy, the weakness and inability of all religious dogmas as well as science to secure the planet’s future form the background of this film.
Are we God?
The nameless Goddess that roams this film is our own relationship with sacredness. It is free from dogmas and denominations. And yet powerless and oppressed. Our rationalistic approach to life has all kinds of irrational consequences. We have spread our activities like a virus, blindly following the logic of the spread and falling into the trap of delusion under the disguise of reason.
The film aims to raise awareness through aesthetic means. It illustrates human attitude towards nature. But the film also addresses our self-image. Our relationship to the material world as well as to the ideal. What do we think is essential for life? How much selfishness and greed is regarded as normal today?
The film speaks to all those who worry about the excessive destruction of our planet; and all those who, in today’s reality, put a question mark behind solid convictions and beliefs.
With your support, you enable a number of artists to work in these difficult times. We are film professionals and professional artists who pursue our vocation with conviction. Help us continue. In addition, you support gender equality in the arts since the cast & crew is a group of female cinema professionals (our male screenwriter feels very comfortable with us, though!).
