First Audition for an upcoming project by Mobile Academy Berlin

May 26, 2018, Espacio Odeón, Bogotá.

In May 2018 first try-outs for a new project by Mobile Academy Berlin were shot in Bogotá. 10 candidates competed in a casting to become protagonists for a cinematic long-term observation between 2019-2029 with the title “A Chronicle of Some Future Events”. This cinematic long-term observation records the social and biographical changes following the Colombian peace agreement. It deals with descriptions of the future and with history’s ghostly repetition compulsion, employs imagination as a method for understanding reality and speculates on that which once will have been history. Right now, the past is unpredictable, much more unpredictable than the future.
 
The business-model of global casting-show was employed to generate an intense dialogue between the jury and the candidates. A dialogue, that dealt with the analytic and narrative capacities that are needed in order to describe the current societal transformations in Colombia.
 
Everybody, who can see her or himself being filmed on a regular basis over the course of 10 years, to open their private lives to the camera, can apply. Every age group, profession, origin etc. is welcome.
The planned auditions are public.
  
The project has been developed by Mobile Academy Berlin (Hannah Hurtzig and Karin Harrasser) based on numerous research-conversations with a wide range of Colombian intellectuals, artists and activists in the last three years. The producer is the German-Columbian company ODRADEK-FILM.
 
ODRADEK FILM stores missed moments of happiness.

The audition in Bogotá was produced by the Goethe-Institute Bogotá. With kind support of Espacio Odeón and Más Arte Más Acción Foundation.
