"Dating Planet A" is a journey that leads to our unattainable selves and inevitably fails. An unpredictable look at the world and its inseparable connections. A poetic, sometimes humorous experience about the relationship between man and nature - a fragmentary journey through surreal landscapes, digital remnants of civilization and silent observations of nature. Dating Planet A is not just an art cinema adventure and jazz concert - it is a single, multidimensional organism that recreates itself with every performance.
Johannes Felder and Jonathan Hofmeister have created a cinematic experiment that deliberately breaks away from classic narrative structures. Their work is an interplay between reality and staging, in which montage functions as a central stylistic device. Multi-layered visual and sound levels overlap and create an almost hypnotic atmosphere. "Dating Planet A" is a reflection on the possibilities of the medium and the boundaries between film, music and performance. Like a tour of a museum, each perspective reveals new facets and surprises the audience again and again.
There is no planet B, but "Dating Planet A" avoids dystopian hopelessness. Instead, the film inspires us to swim free artistically. It illuminates the relationship between man and nature through experimental jazz and art film. Art always strives for something that is perhaps unattainable and inevitably fails - but true art is characterized by the fact that it tries anyway. Felder and Hofmeister turn their gaze to the world and its inseparable connections, exploring misunderstandings of co-existence and inviting the audience to surrender to the immediate experience - bold cinema that draws its greatest power from the unpredictable.
