Into the Realm of the Night
The transition from day to night. It magically casts a spell over us, we glide into it like water and enjoy it: despite all its dangers: it is the night we love.

Patrick Müller, born in 1981 in Frankenberg, GDR, works mainly with analog, photochemical film on Super 8 and 16mm, seeking to explore poetry within moving images. His experimental works have screened at numerous film festivals around the world, including CHICAGO UNDERGROUND FILM FESTIVAL, THE8FEST, FANTAFESTIVAL and TOUS COURTS. He also writes regularly for the German print magazine 35 MILLIMETER and podcasts about film.
I have shot this experimental short film with my 65 years old regular 8mm old Bauer camera in Copenhagen, November 2021, when I was invited to a film festival. In a short break of the ongoing pandemic, the old amusement park reopened, which was a magical moment to me and I tried to capture the surreal atmosphere with my camera. All of the double exposures were done in-camera. Chemnitz-based musician Uwe Rottluff has created unique music with a Moog modular system.
