Film as Work
FilmGeist works with film as a work.
Not as product.
Not as format.
Not as content.
A film does not become a work by declaration.
A work is the unity of an idea with itself.
Beyond Dramaturgy
Dramaturgy orders events.
It follows linear time and causality.
This logic produces functioning narratives.
It does not produce works.
Work-formation requires a different kind of thinking.
Work-Formation
A work is complete.
Nothing is arbitrary.
Nothing is superfluous.
Nothing essential is missing.
Its elements stand in an internal order.
FilmGeist works on this order.
On intention.
On form.
On coherence.
Practice
FilmGeist offers guided work-formation
for film projects
and work-based practice
to develop work-capability.
This is not coaching.
Not dramaturgical supervision.
It is work-based guidance.
Wolf Otto Pfeiffer
FilmGeist is led by Wolf Otto Pfeiffer.
He works with filmmakers
who are willing to change their way of thinking
in order to become work-capable.
