Searching for Paradise, Dorothea Braemer, Dir. 2016, 30 min
Searching for Paradise is a 30-min. documentary about three pioneering art initiatives in rural Brandenburg, Germany. Sometimes named “space pioneers” for their innovative use of neglected land, the people who are part of these initiatives are, the film argues, important catalysts for cultural innovation and social change. The original meaning of the word paradise is garden. The search for paradise is not so much a search for something new as it is the act of transforming and redefining already existing but often ignored realities and spaces. Searching for Paradise was created in collaboration with the Department of Arts Management at the University of Applied Science in Potsdam, Germany, and has been partially funded by a Fulbright Senior Lecture Award.
