Martina Mahlknecht
Born in Bressanone, Italy, I studied art and stage design at the Mozarteum in Salzburg and the Academy of Fine Arts HfbK in Hamburg, where I am currently teaching. Hamburg is my adopted home where I live with my family raising two children. During Covid-pandemic, I co-founded TÒSU Film with Martin Prinoth - a film and multimedia production platform based in Hamburg that explores transcultural border areas in a globalized world and critically engages with Eurocentric narratives. Our work spans hybrid formats that merge documentary film, virtual reality and theater, and is presented in cinemas, theaters and exhibition spaces.
Als der erfahrene Seefahrer Katikun mitten im Ozean auf dem riesigen Containerschiff verschwindet, sucht der junge Seefahrer Itimatang nach Spuren in dessen Leben, die ihm Antworten geben könnten, wie er selbst leben möchte. Eine zeitgenössische Odyssee über ein mächtiges System von Abhängigkeiten und dem menschlichen Wunsch nach Glück.
