Rekorder proudly presents new work for RIMOWA.

The music video of Herbert Grönemeyer's brand new single „Mein Lebensstrahlen“ was directed by Nick&Chloé and produced by Rekorder.

„…Kein Vorbehalt, Du bist
Mein Lebensstrahlen
keine Tricks, einfach Geschick
schieres Gefallen
beteuert und befreit
zwischen Hirn und Jetzt
mit Liebe besetzt...“

The film, starring talented German actress Friederike Becht (The Reader/Der Vorleser) and Herbert Grönemeyer himself, transcends into a dreamlike and aesthetic world.

The cinematic images decently uncover a romantic story that stays mysterious until the end. A clear and honest confession in the lyrics lies over befogged and mystic surroundings of retro Berlin.

NIMIC.

NIMIC is a new short film project from
Yorgos Lanthimos produced by Rekorder, Superprime Films and Merman London in association with creative agency Droga5
starring Matt Dillon and Daphne Patakia.

Written with longtime collaborator Efthymis Filippou and featuring Oscar-nominated actor Matt Dillon and Daphne Patakia (Winner of the EFP’s Rising Star in 2016), the twelve minute short film tells the story of a professional cellist and an encounter he has on the subway which has unexpected and far-reaching ramification on his life. Living firmly in Lanthimos’ unique cinematic universe, the film asks questions about identity, perception, relationships and circularity.

Yorgos Lanthimos says of the film
“I was glad to be given the opportunity to work on a shorter format that can be sometimes challenging but quite rewarding. We developed a script starting from a very intriguing initial idea and concept, and enjoyed great creative freedom during the realisation of the film. It is always very exciting to be invited to think outside the box and wrestle with stimulating ideas.”

Rekorder is the partner-in-crime providing a foundation for creativity.

“We are always thrilled to work with extraordinary talents in visual storytelling. To be able to provide a singular artist whose work refuses to be contained by any perceived limits of cinema – a safe space stocked with all the resources he may need to create, is our signature service.”
– Werner Klemm, CEO of Rekorder

Daphne Patakia says
“I was very impressed by the way Yorgos is invested in the work he does, it is very inspiring.”

Matt Dillon says
“It’s rare that an established director like Yorgos makes a short film and I was happy to be part of it. Yorgos likes to take chances and give the audience something to chew on. It’s kind of a surreal film with universal themes of family and identity. The structure is a bit of a puzzle so you’re never quite sure what’s really going on. I had my own ideas and would ask Yorgos but he would just smile and say nothing. I think he prefers to let the film do the talking.”

NIMIC world premiered on August 9th, 2019 at the Locarno Film Festival.

NIMIC was made in partnership with MINI as part of their ongoing commitment to celebrate the power of creativity. Thinking outside the box has always driven MINI’s engagement, as their patronage of NIMIC demonstrates once again.

Rekorder proudly presents the first episode of the MINI ELECTRIC portrait series.

The film, directed by Nick & Chloé and produced by Rekorder, portrays Nassia Inglessis – head of designer firm Studio INI – and her newest art piece URBAN IMPRINT @ A/D/O in Brooklyn, NYC:

“It’s not just our own curiosity, but we’re actually trying to touch upon experience and needs which are current and currently missing.”
– Nassia Inglessis

We constantly adapt to the outside world, but how does the outside world, our urban environment, adapt to us? To our motion and action? URBAN IMPRINT is all about how technology creates our urban environment, recreates and reconsiders it in a way to make it more dynamic and interactive.

“The philosophy of creating something that matters, concerns and changes the environment we live in to the positive drives the MINI ELECTRIC CAMPAIGN and it is something that we, at Rekorder, truly identify with.”
– Werner Klemm, CEO of Rekorder

Rekorder proudly presents Tu Danses, a music video for french pop musician, Gabriel Auguste.

Directed by Nick & Chloé.

It is the second chapter to our earlier Slowset project.

We explore the theme of the Slow Dance through the gaze of youth.

"Believing that the slow dance is nearing extinction, here is our call to arms to nurture and revive this classic courting ritual. The contemporary dance and music world has turned their back on this mystical, awkward but pragmatic way to encounter the object of your desire. Our gaze fixed downwards on smart phones missing the human life in our proximity. We went back to Berlin, renowned for its techno, mono dancing scene. We gathered a cast of teenagers to come along to our neo futuristic set which acted as a kind of quarantine zone where they could practise the art of the Slow Dance without ridicule."
