Summer Movies
Director: Baran bo Odar, color, 106 min., 2013/14
Benjamin is invisible. A nobody. But this changes abruptly when he suddenly meets the charismatic Max. On the outside, they couldn’t be more different, but they share a common interest: hacking into other people’s computers. And so they start playing with fire. And it goes without saying that fire can burn.
Baran bo Odar was born in Olten, Switzerland, in 1978. He studied at the University of Television and Film in Munich between 1998 and 2005. He then attended a master class on advertising and promotional spots, also at the University of Television and Film in Munich. In 2005, his short film "Quietsch" was shown at the Berlin International Film Festival. His cameraman, Nikolaus Summerer, who also worked with Baran bo Odar on all of his following films, was given an award for his camera work at the American Slamdance Festival in 2006, for the work he did on Baran’s graduate thesis film for the University of Television and Film in Munich, "Unter der Sonne". In the years following that, he directed a number of commercials for companies such as Panasonic, Sony, the Sparkasse Bank and Mini-Cooper. “The Silence” was Baran bo Odar’s debut feature film in 2010.
