from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hartmut Jahn (* 1955 in Hanover ) is a German author , film director and film producer .

Life

The son of Helmut Jahn and Margarethe von Ungern-Sternberg started with the Super 8 camera in the early 1970s, and the first video tapes with the portapak were made in the late 1970s .

Jahn studied fine arts and education from 1976 to 1980 at the Berlin University of the Arts and the Free University of Berlin (state examination and diploma).

After a TV play and feature film for ZDF, Dr. Hans Kutnewsky, Das kleine Fernsehspiel , as a film author and director, increasingly concerned himself with the narrative of new electronic forms in the artistic field and in TV formats. As a producer he worked with the directors Dietmar Klein , Zoran Solomun and Lih Janowitz and with the cameramen Michael Hammon , Sławomir Idziak and Armin Fausten.

In 1982 he founded the CONFU BAJA VIDEO-Studio with Gerd Conradt , Monika Funke Stern and Hanno Baethe , and in 1983 PANTA Filmproduktion together with Peter Wensierski . 1986–1987 he led the basic courses / video at the German Film and Television Academy Berlin (DFFB), from 1988–1991 he was a research assistant at the Institute for Audiovisual Media (AMI) at the University of Hildesheim under Professor Dr. Jan Berg. 1989–1997 he held video workshops at the Goethe Institutes in Lima, Hong Kong, New Delhi, Mumbai and Marseille. In 1998 he was offered the professorship for film design at the Mainz University of Applied Sciences . The focus of teaching is narrative film and media design.

From the mid-1990s, Jahn created essay and documentary films as a film writer for ARTE themed evenings. From 2001 to 2005 he was the producer and creative director of the ARTE short film magazine "KURZSCHLUSS". Since working on the film STARBUCK- Holger Meins in 2001, his main focus has been the development of cinema documentaries. His work is represented in the collections of the nbk Berlin, the ZKM Karlsruhe and the Kylian Foundation Prague. Since 2009 exhibitions of large-format landscape photography.

Hartmut Jahn has been the spokesman for the management of the Institute for Media Design since 2011 . In addition to his work in university committees, he takes on expert opinions, e.g. B. for the AQAS accreditation agency in Bonn and the Science Council. Hartmut Jahn is a member of the German Film Academy.

Peter Wensierski writes about Hartmut Jahn's working method : “The dance on the Berlin Wall, the dissection of animal voices, stories of the body ... in film, video and installation, Hartmut Jahn's works reflect a period of more than twenty years. The images he finds are realistic on the one hand, but also have an experimental note in the montage on the other. This allows him to play with the shape and tell at the same time. It is his subjective view that lets himself fall into the depths and contradictions of his subject without fear and tries out new perspectives that are seldom self-referential. This view keeps the situation in motion: sometimes disturbing, utopian, often narrating on several levels at the same time. Mostly with a fine pinch of humor that the audience can enjoy. The work is an offer with an open structure. This structure calls for a communication that tries to give the protagonist their image back and not try to appropriate it. The Fluxus project particularly stands for this way of working. An audiovisual collection develops from the film: an (art) story conveyed by the protagonists themselves, behind which the conventional author takes a back seat - documentary and fictional, as a short film, as a feature film, as an installation. The digital availability of the moving image is a prerequisite for this way of working, which can use the Bilderberg and recombine it at any time, which dips into the material, which can be fast, but which does not lose sight of its protagonists over the course of a decade, which is popular works for television and questions the same material again, confronts it and - out of its own mistrust of the image - puts it up for disposal in a new context. “Babylon Circus, Nuremberg 2005.
