Movie Picture

Desert of the Real 2017

Composer and filmmaker Christian von Borries' new film Desert of the real visits these contemporary wastelands. In a rich collage of acted scenes and documentary footage, he extends the metaphor of the wasteland to today's medial reality. At the heart of so many holographic simulations and replicas, in a world custom-made for selfie and instagram tweets, he reveals emptiness and potential violence. (David Riff) The only way to trace the distinction between the semblance and the Real is, precisely, to STAGE it in a fake spectacle.
Movie Picture

The Dubai in Me 2010

In this documentary filmed in 2009, Christian von Borries uses a range of filmic techniques to contrast the idealised and skilfully marketed image of the city of Dubai with the reality of the system of exploitation of a transnational proletariat needed to build and run the city.
