Experiencing Interruptions?

EUDEMONIA

The world has changed. The last two years have altered the way we live, how we see things and interact with those around us. With this change has come a new way of thinking, one focussed not on what we cannot control, but what we can.

It’s these changes that inspired David Djite and Fabian F. Fuchs to develop their new project: Eudemonia. A new film showcasing a different side of snowboarding, one with foundations in the power of positive psychology and the drive to experience the often chased ‘flow state’.

Director Biography - Fabian F. Fuchs

Fabian F. Fuchs is an artist from Germany working under the FFF. Growing up in the culture of skate and snowboarding had a deep impact on his later journey. Working as an art and creative director in the innovation lab of a creative agency trained his professional approach to implement high-tech concepts.

After sensing a lack of emotion in the perfect pixel world Fabian F. Fuchs was searching for a way to break free. By exploring analog techniques like illustrating and painting he opened up a new field to his repertoire. This autodidactic process started a chain reaction of exploring other haptic and acoustic tools. FFF’s journey lead him to extraordinary places and experiences with the goal to combine his findings for an audience. The discoveries are transported through different media such as filmmaking, painting and illustration as well as sculptural works with soundscapes.

FFF implements his expertise from various fields in a holistic approach to his projects. Exploring and transporting emotions became the main subject in his latest works. The artist is currently working on self set artistic explorations and very few well selected collaborations.

Director Statement

For Artist and Director, Fabian F. Fuchs (FFF), working together with David on "EUDEMONIA" it was an opportunity not only to tell a new story, but to find a way to visually bring to life something that’s intangible, untouchable and intrinsically personal. It was this aspect that sparked his interest, moving the film into a space outside of the standard snowboarding films.

“This journey of David Djité is set as an example that we can reach a very empowering state of mind through our own actions. It takes time and effort but already the first steps are rewarding and motivating to keep on going. Going towards a more healthy and balanced life as an individual and as a community” - FFF
