The World's Best Sellers: The Fine Art of Separating People from Their Money

Hermann Vaske

In this unique film, Dennis Hopper sends Hermann Vaske on a mission around the world to find out about the crossover between creative disciplines, and how this is changing the creative and commercial arts. With insights from Tony Scott, Spike Lee, Paul Arden, and Harvey Keitel this film shows the proximity between advertising, art, and film.


The Radical Gardener

Hermann Vaske

The Radical Gardener is a rollercoaster-ride into the badlands of art and advertising featuring Malcolm McLaren, Jonathan Meese, Jeff Koons, Graham Fink, Guido Heffels, Kalle Lasn, Sebastian Horsley, Oliviero Toscani and Dr. Pussy. Today radical has become a buzzword for everything, from art to business to politics, but what does it really mean? Hermann Vaske goes on a journey to investigate the radical borderlines of art, exploring the very nature of our cultural and commercial landscape.


The A to Z of Separating People from Their Money

Hermann Vaske

Pointing to the increasingly blurred distinction between reality and fiction in the world today, this film discusses the methods used by advertisers, as well as the responsibilities of ad-makers. The biggest names in the business have their say on shock, humour, and sex as methods of selling.


The Ten Commandments of Creativity

Hermann Vaske

Having struggled to crack his brief he decides the only honourable act is to throw himself off a roof. Before this final act, Sir Peter Ustinov appears and bestows the Ten Commandments of Creativity upon the desperate advertising executive. The Ten Commandments become a template to navigate the state of creativity. Featuring Tarantino, Jeff Koons, Sean Penn, and Malcolm McClaren.


Balkan Spirit

Hermann Vaske

Filmmaker Hermann Vaske explores the creative Balkan world in the hopes of understanding the meaning of "Balkan spirit", by interviewing philosopher Slavoj Žižek and various artists. However, the term's complexity very quickly becomes apparent and it seems increasingly difficult, if not impossible, to define the Balkans' geographical location, its people and its culture. Indeed, contradiction, chaos and change is at the Balkans very core.


Arteholic

Hermann Vaske

As Udo Kier guides us through Europe's galleries, he comes across some of the most eminent artists, curators, and film makers alive today, whilst continually saluting those who have passed. Kier ruminates on the friends he has lost along the way, friends such as Andy Warhol, Robert Mapplethorpe, and Sigmar Polke. However, this film is not simply an homage to past greats, but a celebration of art itself in its purest form. Each of the number of strange and humorous scenes that make up Arteholic contribute to an understanding that this is about more than simply Kier's love for art. It is a love letter to art itself. Arteholic features a who's who of contemporary figures in the arts, who each reveal the personal significance they find in art and its importance in a world that, at times, can seem devoid of beauty and hope.
