Chores of Creativity

Beside those doors to endless lecture rooms in the corridors of the University of Bremen, there are other doors which lead you to creativity. Places like a photographic laboratory, a bicycle workshop or a piano allow people of daily university life to enter creative processes beyond theoretical knowledge production. Those places also transport an autonomous, student-organized and political spirit, that since the emergence of the University of Bremen is part of it's character. In this film you meet students who keep those places alive, tell stories of their development and are exerted about creating spaces for balance, art or support as so to create a student- and utopia-orientated university.
Detail shots and explicit sounds give an idea of how these places feel, look, sound and smell. The interviewed protagonists aren't just part of these places but are filling up the picture by adding their perceptions and ideas. This film also functions as an invitation to visit those places of creativity and find even more behind those many doors at the university.
