ERSTER BERLINER KUNSTVEREIN E.V.

Berlin: In a city of startups and coworking culture, six twenty-somethings dream of changing the world as poets or painters. They live in a flatshare, get drunk and seem not to quite have their finger on the pulse. With refined irony they eventually found a society named Erster Berliner Kunstverein e.V. In an aesthetic referencing the new German cinema, Erster Berliner Kunstverein e. V. is a retrofuturistic homage to the utopian visions of art, reflecting their inherent potential for disappointment; at once the death of the classic art forms and their resurrection.
